When you complete a normal stop (one that was not overridden with an F4), the system knows the address and the allowance associated.

When you do an F4, you type in the loop and unit, right? The loop and unit determine your allowance. If you enter the wrong one, you will get a wrong allowance.

The wrong allowance may be high or low. The point here is that its different.

When your plan is created, the dispatcher see how much planned time is associated with the work dispatched. If you generally do 8.5 planned time (according to the time study) in 9.25 hours, you are .75 overallowed.

The dispatcher can put that .75 of time into his computer. When he tries to give you 9 hours of work (per the allowance), the computer will then add this overallowed time and say he is really giving you 9.75 hours of paid work.

This then gets calculated backward to how many stops are in the min / max.

The point here was that the planner can account for these differences. It is not based purely on the time study (if they are doing their job correctly).
