Use this screen to enter timesheet batches. A batch may refer to an individual timesheet or a group of timesheets.
You can use this screen to estimate the number of regular and overtime hours associated with a batch. You can also estimate the number of timesheets associated with a specific batch. These estimates are performed before you enter data in the Enter Timesheets program (People\Transactions\Timesheets).
You must create a unique batch name and enter this information in the Batch ID field. After you save your record specifications, the batch ID becomes available in the Lookup associated with the Batch field in the Enter Timesheets screen. It is here that you can link the batch to specific timesheets.
After you save timesheet records in the Enter Timesheets program, the timesheet line detail, as it pertains to labor hours, is automatically imported into the table window of the Timesheet Entry Batch application.
You can compare your estimates to the actual timesheet data. If there are gross differences, you can return to the Enter Timesheets screen to review or revise the timesheets before you post them.
This screen, therefore, serves as a validation tool which allows you to examine the timesheet line detail to ensure content accuracy before you execute the Post Labor program (People\Process\Post).
Initialize this screen before you process records in the Enter Timesheets program.
Use this block to create a batch ID or to retrieve a previously saved batch. A batch ID represents a set of screen selection specifications associated with timesheets. Once you have saved a batch ID and its related detail, you can retrieve them using Query.
