TIMESHEET HISTORY INQUIRY

Use this display-only screen to view previously entered and posted labor cost and timesheet-related information for individual employees. The labor accounts that the employee charged on the timesheet were posted through the Post Labor Distribution screen to the General Ledger. This file (Timesheet History) is updated when you post Labor Distribution with the individual timesheet information.

Timesheets appear in this screen after they have been posted to labor distribution.

Timesheet ID

Employee

This field displays the employee ID that uniquely identifies the employee. The length of the ID is limited to the length specified in the Employee ID Length field in the Corporate Labor Settings subtask of the Labor Settings screen. If the Use Social Security No for Employee ID checkbox has been selected in the Corporate Labor Settings subtask, the Employee ID field will have the mask display of "___-__-____". The dashes are stored as part of the employee ID. Also, the length of the field is limited to either 11, if you are using the social security number, or 12 characters.

If you are not using the Social Security Number (SSN) as the employee ID, you can enter any combination of letters and numbers up to the field size limit. If you are using the SSN as the employee ID, you can enter only numbers for the first 11 characters.

Date

This field displays the date entered, in the MM/DD/YYYY format, for each timesheet. This can be the ending date for the period of time, such as a day or a week, that was entered.

Type

This field displays the type of timesheet that was assigned in the Type field in the Enter Timesheets screen. There are four types of timesheets supported: "R" (Regular), "L" (Labor Only), "C" (Correcting), or "B" (Bonus). The default is "R."

If this field displays  "C" (Correcting),  a correction timesheet was entered for the original timesheet (i.e., the Date field in the Timesheet ID group box), and a reference date may appear in the Ref Date field in the Correction group box. You can enter up to nine timesheets for the same combination of employee ID, date, and type. The sequence number provides the unique identification.

Seq  No

This field displays a unique identification number for the combination of employee ID, timesheet date, and timesheet type in the Labor Distribution table. You can have up to nine separate sequence numbers for any combination of the employee ID, timesheet date, and timesheet type.

Hours

Regular and other hours are entered to give Costpoint a way to edit the total hours related to the detail account lines in the lower part of the screen and reduce the chance of data entry error on those lines. Before a timesheet history record can be added, you must add the hours associated with the pay types that are not designated as overtime pay types to the hours entered in the Reg field. Also, hours associated with pay types that are designated as overtime pay types must be added to the hours entered in the Other field. Select the Overtime checkbox in the Pay Types screen to designate a pay type as being an overtime or a premium pay type.

Reg

This field displays the total number of regular or non-overtime hours, up to two places to the right of the decimal, for this timesheet.

Other

This field displays the total number of overtime hours, up to two places to the right of the decimal, for this timesheet.

Total

This field displays the sum of the Reg and Other hours entered. This is a display-only field and cannot be edited; however, batch totals may have been set up for this field.

Accounting Period

This group box displays the General Ledger posting data that was assigned to this timesheet. The fiscal year, period, and subperiod settings are displayed. Select the Acct Pd pushbutton to view more data.

Fiscal Year

This non-editable field displays the fiscal year, within the accounting period, to which this timesheet was assigned. This field is not labeled.

Period

This display-only field shows the period, within the accounting period, to which this timesheet was assigned. This field is not labeled.

Subperiod

This display-only field shows the subperiod, within the accounting period, to which this timesheet was assigned. This field is not labeled.

Timesheet Reference

Reference Date

This non-editable field displays the reference date.

Ref Seq No

This non-editable field displays the reference sequence number.

Reversing Timesheet

This checkbox, if selected, indicates that the timesheet was created using the Create Reversing Timesheets program.

Entry Info

These checkboxes indicate that the timesheet has already been posted to either the General Ledger or to the Leave files. Once you have posted a timesheet, you cannot change it.  You cannot edit either checkbox because they indicate that a system-controlled posting has occurred.

Date

This non-editable field displays the system date on which the timesheet was entered.

User ID

This non-editable field displays the user ID of the person that entered the timesheet. This is the user ID with which the person logged into Costpoint.

Posted

Labor

This checkbox signifies that the timesheet has been posted to the General Ledger for Labor Distribution purposes.

Leave

This checkbox signifies that the timesheet has been posted to the Leave tables for leave accruals (hours worked).

O/T State

This field displays the overtime state entered for this timesheet. This is not the withholding state, which is used for state income tax purposes. This field comes from the Salary Info and History screen in Costpoint Employee, represents the state where the work is being performed, and may have been used as the basis for the auto overtime calculation. Use the Overtime Rules by State screen to define the method for calculating overtime hours related to this state. If the state's overtime rules specify that overtime hours are based upon the number of hours worked in a day, you must enter daily timesheets for the auto overtime calculations to be accurate.

The Overtime Rules by Location screen supersedes the Overtime Rules by State screen if the locations charged on the timesheet lines are found in the Overtime Rules by Location table.

Table Window

You can enter up to 999 timesheet lines on any one timesheet. If more were required, additional sequence numbers may have been used for the same employee ID, timesheet, and type. Each field in the Defaults subtask of the Basic Employee Info screen in Costpoint Employee for the timesheet line was provided as the default field value for the first line (if you are adding a new Timesheet History record). Thereafter, the value on the previous line is the default.

Line

This non-editable field displays the sequential number of each timesheet line. The screen displays the first five timesheet detail lines. If employees have more charges on their timesheets, you can scroll down (or up) using the arrow keys on the right side of the screen. Timesheet lines remain in the order in which they are entered, and lines with the same account number are not combined.

Account

The time and labor cost on each timesheet line is charged to a specific General Ledger account. For time to be charged to a given account (up to 15 characters), you must have already set up the account in the Maintain Accounts screen in Costpoint General Ledger.

On the timesheet line, you normally charge labor to a labor-related account type, but any account is accepted, provided the following conditions are met (see the documentation for the Maintain Accounts screen in Costpoint General Ledger to find out how to set up these conditions):

Organization

This column displays the organization (up to 20 characters) that is charged on this timesheet line. This is a required field. Edits that were made on the organization by itself are:

Project

Whether a project number is required is determined by the Project Required checkbox in the Maintain Accounts screen in Costpoint General Ledger. If you select this checkbox, a project number is required. The edits that are performed on the project by itself are (see the Basic Info screen in Costpoint Project Setup):

Also, one of two combination edits is required depending on the setting of the Validate Project Charging by Organizations checkbox in the Project Settings screen. You must have already set up the project number in the Setup Account/Org Links subtask of the Basic Info screen in Costpoint Project Setup.

If the checkbox is not selected, then only the account and organization combination was set up in Assign Accounts (Project/Organization/Account table).

In both combination edits above, the Active column for the account status must be "Y" in the Assign Accounts subtask in Maintain Project Master.

GLC

You can change the General Labor Category (GLC) code for this line if the Allow GLC Change on Timesheet checkbox is selected in the Labor Settings screen. The timesheet line provides the GLC default in the Defaults subtask in the Basic Employee Info screen. You cannot change the GLC if the checkbox is not selected. If you enter a GLC, the code must be present in the General Labor Category table.

If authorized general labor categories are established (see the documentation for the Authorized Labor Categories screen) for this employee, a warning is issued at timesheet entry if the general labor category charged is not found (not authorized). If no authorized general labor categories are set up for the affected employee, then no edit is performed. This feature is similar to the Deltek System1 Skill Codes.

PLC

This field displays the Project Labor Category code (PLC) to be used for billing purposes. This field, which was populated in the Enter Timesheets screen, comes from one of three different tables:  

Effective Bill Date

When a PLC is entered on a timesheet line, the subperiod end date will default into this field.  You can edit this date, but the system will not validate this changed date.  When no PLC exists on the timesheet line, this field is not required.

Pay Type

This field displays the pay type code for this timesheet line. The Pay Type was entered manually, through Lookup, or by using the Pay Types pushbutton in the Enter Timesheets screen.

Hrs

This field displays the hours that the employee worked for this timesheet line, as entered in the Enter Timesheets screen.

Amount

This column displays the amount (labor cost) for each timesheet line, which is automatically computed by the system. Labor costs are not displayed if labor suppression is in effect. Labor cost is calculated in a variety of ways depending on Costpoint settings.

The determination of what hourly rate (pay rate) to use for the employee depends on certain settings. If you selected the Enable checkbox in the Use Standard Rates group box in the Labor Settings screen, the Salary Info and History screen in Costpoint Employee will have an effective rate. This is used in place of the employee's hourly rate. Standard rates are used only for "S" (Salaried Fixed Hours) employees (see the Salary Info and History screen). It is an alternate method of handling salaried employee's uncompensated overtime.

If you selected the Enable Wage Determination Feature checkbox in the Labor Settings screen and the employee is charging to a project number that has a Wage Determination (WD) record established (see the Wage Determination Rates screen) and for the appropriate GLC, location, labor group, and effective date, the rate for that WD record can be used. The WD record relates to the fields defined for the unique combination of project, location, labor category, and for labor group, and effective date. The project, location labor category, and timesheet date (used to access effective date) are part of the timesheet, and the labor group is assigned to each employee in the Salary Info and History screen.

Depending on the setting of the hourly rate method, this rate per hour may have been used in the calculation of the timesheet line labor cost. If you selected the Override method in the Wage Determination Rates screen, the associated rate per hour will override all other rates to calculate the labor cost on the timesheet (i.e., hours on the timesheet times the rate per hour from the override record (and as adjusted by the pay type parameters)).

If you selected the Use if Higher method in the Wage Determination Rates screen, the hourly rate contained in the Salary Info and History screen for the employee (employee's rate) is first compared to rate per hour in the override record. If the override record rate per hour is higher than the employee's rate, then the override rate is used. If not, the employee's rate is used to calculate labor cost. That is, hours on the timesheet times the greater of: 1) the override record rate per hour or 2) the employee's rate.

The Wage Determination table is not referenced for employees classified as "Salaried Fixed Hours" or "Salaried Fluctuating Hours." It applies only to Hourly, Non-exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act, type employees (see the Salary Info and History screen in Costpoint Employee). Therefore, the Wage Determination table does not conflict with standard rates.

Once the hourly rate is determined, the pay type code parameters are taken into account. There are several parameters related to each pay type:

If you selected the Enable Union Functionality checkbox in the Labor Settings screen, the labor cost will be determined by multiplying the charge hours by the GLC Hourly Rate listed for that union and local in the Union Profile screen. That amount will be reflected in this field.

Another parameter that can enter into the labor cost calculation is the OK for Salaried Employees and Overtime options in the Pay Types screen. If both of these checkboxes are selected, then timesheet lines containing this pay type will be skipped by the auto-adjust calculation. Also, cost-only timesheet lines, if combined with lines containing hours, are zeroed out by the auto-adjust function. Timesheets containing all cost-only (pay types) timesheet lines are not auto-adjusted.

Lab Loc/Local

This field displays the location where the work is being performed or the Local, if this is a Union employee. If you selected the Require Labor Location on Timesheet checkbox in the Labor Settings screen, this is a required field. The default is provided from the Defaults subtask of the Basic Employee Info screen in Costpoint Employee. If you are using the Auto-OT feature, this location field is used to access the Overtime Rules by Location table. It is also a key field for the Wage Determination feature.

WC

This field displays the workers' compensation code for this timesheet line. It is edited in the Enter Timesheets screen to determine that the code is in the Worker's Comp table.

Entered Hrs

This field shows the hours entered on the timesheet line. If a cost-only pay type is charged, the Hrs field in the Enter Timesheets screen is zeroed out. This field is updated by entries to the Hrs field but retains the original value entered.

Type

Two types of timesheet lines may have been entered. The default is the Account/Org type and allows entry of all the fields discussed above in the Enter Timesheets screen. The other type is Leave Memo and pertains to making entries that have no labor cost associated, but that have data related to track leave hours used. This is used to track Family Leave Act leave usage. This timesheet line type is processed to the Leave files, but is not processed by the Labor Distribution Posting.

Notes

This column displays any notes, up to 254 characters, that may have been entered for each timesheet line.

Acct Pd
