FDC Setup
The FDC Setup page contains all the necessary configurations for COSMO Factory Data Capture. Some of the settings are the default that can be adjusted later as needed.
Access the FDC Setup page using Tell Me. Choose the 
icon, enter FDC Setup, and then choose the related link.
On opening the FDC Setup page, several settings are checked and initialized, if nonexistent. The journal templates for invoicing, allocation, and processing are created automatically and can be shown or hidden via the FDC Setup page. Additionally, the number series are generated.
The fields in the FDC Setup page are described in the following sections.
General FastTab
The fields on this FastTab are described in the following table.
| Group | Field | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enable Application Area | Makes pages and controls visible for COSMO Factory Data Capture (see App Activation). The setting in this field in combination with the settings in the Product Configuration Management tool control the Application Areas in standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. For more information, see Product Configuration Management Tool. |

| Recording Time Assignment Lapse (h) | Summarizes different FDC postings in the same FDC entry. Therefore, FDC postings with subtype Recording will have begin time and end time that look for other FDC detailed entries in the same range of time. For example, a value of 1 (hour): a posting of 12:30 to 15:00 would be appended to an existing FDC detailed entry from 09:00 to 12:00. |
|
| Interrupt Time Assignment Lapse (h) | Summarizes different FDC postings in the same FDC entry. Therefore, FDC postings with subtype Break will have begin time and end time that look for other FDC detailed entries in the same range of time. So, breaks can be posted to existing FDC entries with subtype Recording automatically. | |
