DOWNLOAD TABLES

Summary

Use this subtask to select which tables to export from Costpoint into Deltek Time Collection. When making your selections, remember to export only the tables that need to be tracked in Costpoint. Costpoint can fill in the blanks when importing timesheet data if the systems have been properly set up. If an employee's default labor location is used for every timesheet line, you need not track labor location in Deltek Time Collection unless you want Deltek Time Collection reports to contain this data.

If you decide not to track certain data in Deltek Time Collection, do not select the respective table(s). The proper data is calculated for the table(s) when you import timesheet data from Deltek Time Collection into Costpoint.

Account Type

Deltek Time Collection associates all accounts with an account type. Account types control several business rules within Deltek Time Collection. Use this drop-down box to control which Account Types are downloaded for the Account range. Select one of the following options:

None - Download a blank value. If you select this option, you must create account types in Deltek Time Collection and assign a valid account type to each account individually. If you select this option, all applicable Labor Expense accounts (where the Account Type drop-down box is "Labor Expense" in the Maintain Accounts screen in Costpoint General Ledger) and Leave accounts (where the account is assigned as the Accrual Account, or only an Expense Account exists in the Leave Types screen in Costpoint Leave) will be exported to the UDT01 file. A null value will be inserted into the Account Type field of the ET_UDT01.txt file.

Account Type - Download the account type for the account.  If you select this option, all applicable Labor Expense accounts (where the Account Type drop-down box is "Labor Expense" in the Maintain Accounts screen in Costpoint General Ledger) and Leave accounts (where the account is assigned as the Accrual Account, or only an Expense Account exists in the Leave Types screen in Costpoint Leave) will be exported to the UDT01 file. The Account Type value (ACCT. S_ACCT_TYPE_CD) will be inserted into the Account Type field of the ET_UDT01.txt file.

User-Defined - Download one of the account's user defined IDs. In order to select a user-defined value, you must first create one or more Validated Text fields in the Account User-Defined Labels screen (in Costpoint General Ledger), and then assign a value to each account in the Maintain Account User-Defined Info screen. If you select a user-defined label from this drop-down box, only accounts that have a value assigned to the selected label will be exported to the ET_UDT01.txt file.

None - Download a blank value. If you select this option, all applicable projects will be exported to the UDT02 file. A null value will be inserted into the Project Type field of the ET_UDT02.txt file.

Account Group - Download the project's account group. We recommend that you use this option. The Account Group is assigned to the project in the Maintain Project Master screen in Costpoint Project Setup. If you select this option, all applicable projects will be exported to the UDT02 file. The Account Group value (PROJ.ACCT_GRP_CD) will be inserted into the Project Type field of the ET_UDT02.txt file.

Labels that have a "T" (Text) Data Type and contain validated text (i.e., the Validated Text field is "Y") in the Project User-Defined Labels screen in Costpoint Project Setup will appear as options. If you select a user-defined label from this drop-down box, only projects that have a value assigned to the selected label will be exported to the ET_UDT02.txt file.

Labor Location (UDT03)

Select this checkbox to download the Labor Location table. Download this table only if you plan to have employees enter this field, have defaults set up in the charge authorizations, or need Deltek Time Collection reports that contain this data.

Reference 1 (UDT04)

Select this checkbox to download the Reference 1 table. Download this table only if you plan to have employees make entries in this field, have defaults set up in the charge authorizations, or need Deltek Time Collection reports that contain this data.

Reference 2 (UDT05)

Select this checkbox to download the Reference 2 table. Download this table only if you plan to have employees make entries in this field, have defaults set up in the charge authorizations, or need Deltek Time Collection reports that contain this data.

GLC (UDT06)

Select this checkbox to download the GLC table. Download this table only if you plan to have employees make entries in this field, have defaults set up in the charge authorizations, or need Deltek Time Collection reports that contain this data.

PLC (UDT07)

Select this checkbox to download the PLC table. Download this table only if you plan to have employees make entries in this field, have defaults set up in the charge authorizations, or need Deltek Time Collection reports that contain this data.

Note:  The project work force can create charge authorizations in Deltek Time Collection for you. This means that, when the employee chooses the project, the PLC will also be placed on that timesheet line. In fact, employees do not need to see the PLC or Labor Category fields on their timesheets. This prevents them from changing the code and can help ensure proper calculation of project billing.

Workers Comp (UDT08)

Select this checkbox to download the Worker's Comp table. Download this table only if you plan to have employees make entries in this field, have defaults set up in the charge authorizations, or need Deltek Time Collection reports that contain this data.

Organization (UDT09)

Select this checkbox to download the Organization table. Download this table only if you plan to have employees make entries in this field, have defaults set up in the charge authorizations, or need Deltek Time Collection reports that contain this data.

Pay Type (UDT10)

Select this checkbox to download the Pay Type table. Download this table only if you plan to have employees make entries in this field, have defaults set up in the charge authorizations, or need Deltek Time Collection reports that contain this data. 

Note:  If you have employees who receive overtime pay, you need to download this table to Deltek Time Collection.
