Timesheet Line Type Defaults

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to establish company-wide defaults for the Pay Type, Account, and Organization fields in the Enter Timesheets and Enter Correcting Timesheets screens (People\Transactions\Timesheets).

You can designate up to nine timesheet line defaults in this application.  Each default will be associated with a line type, one through nine.  For example, if you associate line type "1" with pay type "OT," account "550," and organization "1.2," each reference to line type "1" in the Enter Timesheets program will default "OT," "550," and "1.2" into the respective fields.

Establishing timesheet line type defaults reduces data entry in the Enter Timesheets program.

There are 12 levels of timesheet line defaults, each associated with a specific application.  With the exception of the Employee Timesheet Line Type Defaults and the Timesheet Line Type Defaults screens, each application allows you to establish timesheet line defaults based on a specific project.

Since the Employee Timesheet Line Type Defaults and the Timesheet Line Type Defaults screens function independent of projects, they are the first "non-project" timesheet line defaults programs evaluated as you enter timesheet lines. If you do not establish any project line defaults but you have established records in both of these screens, it is the information in the Employee Timesheet Line Type Defaults application that will default onto a timesheet.

The Timesheet Line Type Defaults program, therefore, represents the second (non-project specific) level of defaults imported when you enter a timesheet line. The system uses this level when there are no project level defaults defined and you have not created records in the Employee Timesheet Line Type Defaults screen.

The information you enter in the Timesheet Line Type Defaults screen will be overwritten when you enter a project on a timesheet line if, in fact, defaults have been established.

When should I use this screen?

You should initialize the Pay Types (People\Configure\Labor), Accounts (Accounting\Maintain\Accounts), Organization Structures (Accounting\Maintain\Organizations), and Organization Elements screens (Accounting\Maintain\Organizations) before you establish timesheet line type defaults in this application.
