BATCH 

Use this subtask to enter and edit batch-related data. The system tracks regular hours, other (overtime) hours, and total hours. Use this subtask to establish control totals for these categories of hours. Data is also provided related to batch start date/time, last date/time, and differences between the control totals you entered and Costpoint calculated totals. This data is provided by the name related to the batch.

Expected Totals/Total

If you enter the Regular hours and Overtime (pay types designated as overtime pay types) hours, Costpoint fills in the Total hours field by adding together the Regular hours entered and the Overtime hours entered. If you do not fill in the Regular hours and the Overtime hours fields, you can enter Total hours only. However, if you then enter data in either the Regular or the Overtime hours fields, the Total hours will change.

Running Totals/Regular

This non-editable field displays the system-calculated total for regular hours. The Total column will automatically update. This calculation represents the regular hours associated with the timesheets that have been entered (assigned) for this batch.

Running Totals/Overtime

This non-editable field displays the system-calculated total for overtime hours. The Total column will automatically update. This calculation represents the overtime hours associated with the timesheets that have been entered (assigned) for this batch.

Running Totals/Total

This non-editable field displays the system-calculated totals for regular and overtime hours. It represents the total hours associated with the timesheets that have been entered (assigned) for this batch.

This non-editable field displays the system-calculated difference between the expected regular total hours and the input regular total hours, which are also system-calculated.

Difference/Overtime

This non-editable field displays the system-calculated difference between the expected overtime hours and the input overtime total hours, which are also system-calculated.

Difference/Total

This non-editable field displays the system-calculated difference between the expected totals and the input totals (system-calculated totals). When you exit the Enter Timesheets screen, if the difference is not equal to zero for all three categories, you will receive a warning message showing the differences by hour category. However, if you did not enter Regular, Overtime, or Total expected hours, you will not receive this warning message.

Expected Totals/Total

Use this field to enter the control totals for this batch related to the number of timesheets being entered by timesheet type. If you enter the "R" (regular timesheets), or Other than "R" (bonus, correction, and labor only timesheets) numbers, Costpoint adds them together to fill in the Total field. If you do not fill in the "R" and the Other than "R" fields, you can enter the Total only. However, if you then enter data in either the "R" or the Other than "R" fields, the Total number will be recalculated.

Running Totals/"R"

Difference/Total

This non-editable field displays the system-calculated difference between the Expected Totals and the input totals for each of the three categories of timesheets.

When you exit from the Enter Timesheets screen, if the difference is not equal to zero for all three categories, the system will display a warning message showing the differences by category. However, if you did not enter "R," Other than "R," or Total expected numbers, you will not receive this warning message.
