Timesheet Options Tab

Use the fields in the Timesheet Options tab to control timesheet entry or import functionality.

Contents

Field	Description
Require labor location	Select this checkbox to require that a labor location be entered for each timesheet line. In order to access the Manage Wage Determination Rates and Manage Wage Determination Fringe Charge Codes screens, you must select both the Enable wage determination functionality and Require labor location checkboxes.
Allow edit of timesheet line GLC	Select this checkbox to allow changes to the General Labor Category (GLC) on each timesheet line. If you do not select this checkbox, the GLC is still stored on each timesheet line, but is filled in from the Default tab of the Manage Employee Information screen. This checkbox is selected as the default when you first enter this screen.
Allow edit of timesheet line workers' compensation code	Select this checkbox to allow edit of the workers' compensation code (the WC field) on the timesheet line.
Enable pay type restrictions	Select this checkbox to enable the Manage Pay Type Restrictions screen, where you establish the pay types that cannot be used for a given project, but can optionally be used for a given location and labor group/union. It also enables the related automatic editing of the timesheet line pay type being charged based upon the entries on the Manage Pay Type Restrictions screen.
Use reference dates in correcting and labor-only timesheets	Select this checkbox to use the reference date to determine the rate when entering Correcting or Labor Only timesheets.
Allow generation of negative LWOP timesheet lines	Selecting this checkbox to enable the automatic negative LWOP timesheet line generation functionality in the timesheet applications. When you select this checkbox, the screen enables the following options, which determine how existing negative LWOP timesheet lines are handled when a user selects to create negative LWOP timesheet lines for a timesheet: Exclude timesheets with existing negative LWOP lines: Select this option to exclude timesheets with existing negative LWOP lines from the application processing. If a timesheet for an employee has any negative LWOP lines in the input file, the application will not delete the negative LWOP lines and will skip that timesheet when it generates negative LWOP TS lines. Delete and regenerate existing negative LWOP lines: Select this option to delete all existing negative LWOP lines from the file regardless of whether they are linked to a positive LWOP line. The application will then generate new negative LWOP lines for any positive LWOP lines.
Use standard rates to calculate labor cost	Select this checkbox to use standard (or effective) hourly rates for calculating labor costs. To use this feature, on the Manage Employee Information screen, enter the estimated hours to be worked per year by employees. Costpoint calculates the standard (or effective) hourly rate (annual salary divided by the number of estimated hours) and uses this figure to calculate labor cost on the timesheet line.
Standard Variance Account	Use this field to generate a separate timesheet line that shows the difference between total labor cost at the standard rate and the employee's salary amount if the Standard Variance button is clicked on the Manage Timesheets screen during timesheet entry. This field is available and required only if you selected the Enable checkbox. Enter a General Ledger (GL) account or click to select your account.

Effective Bill Date Options

Field	Description
Effective Bill Date Source	From the drop-down list, select the method that will be used to default the effective bill date when you enter or import timesheets. Valid options are: Subperiod End Date: Select this option to have the last day of the timesheet's subperiod default as the effective bill date when you enter or import timesheets. Timesheet Date: Select this option to have the timesheet date default as the effective bill date when you enter or import timesheets. Timesheet Line Date: Select this option to use the timesheet line date as the default effective bill date of timesheets that you enter or import.

If the timesheet type is either D-Correcting or C-Correcting, and the Effective Bill Date Options - Use Reference Date in Correcting Timesheets checkbox is selected, but there is no timesheet line date; then the applications will use the reference date as the default effective bill date.

When entering or importing C-Correcting or D-Replacement timesheets, if this checkbox is selected, the Default Effective Bill Date method is set to Timesheet Line Date, and no timesheet line date is provided; the reference date will be used as the default effective bill date.

Labor Only Timesheets
