Delete Allocated Compensated Overtime

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to delete overtime hours associated with timesheets created when you executed the Allocated Compensated Overtime Across Timesheet Lines utility.  

The Allocated Compensated Overtime Across Timesheet Lines utility evenly distributes overtime hours among multiple projects.

If an employee worked 10 hours each day on several projects during a single pay period, it would be difficult to designate overtime hours adequately.  Execution of the Allocated Compensated Overtime Across Timesheet Lines utility, however, ensures even distribution of these hours.

If you entered data incorrectly using the Allocated Compensated Overtime Across Timesheet Lines utility, you must execute the Delete Allocated Compensated Overtime program to remove these overtime hours, cleanly and safely.

The Delete Allocated Compensated Overtime program reads and evaluates data from the Timesheet Periods, Timesheet Period Schedule, and Timesheet Header tables.  During this evaluation process, there is a systematic assessment of data in the Timesheet Cycle and Timesheet Dates fields.  If this process finds no records matching the timesheet cycle and date selected, a message is displayed to that effect, and no report is generated.  

You cannot use this program to delete individual timesheet records.  This program deletes all timesheet records within the specified timesheet cycle and date range.

You can cancel this process at any time; however, if you are satisfied with your record specifications, you must click the Action icon to execute this utility.

Note:  If you are using this feature, do not use the following three utilities: Recompute Overtime for Weighted Average, Recast Overtime Premium Timesheet Lines, and Delete Recasted Overtime Premium Timesheet Lines.  Since these three utilities represent other ways in which overtime hours may be manipulated, only one process may be used at a time.

When should I use this screen?

You must initialize this screen if you allocated overtime hours incorrectly when you executed the Allocated Compensated Overtime Across Timesheet Lines utility.  You also must execute this program before you post timesheets.

Field Descriptions

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID.  A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters.  Once you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency.  Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process.  If you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters will automatically display as selection defaults.  You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Use the checkbox (top right corner) to select/deselect the record.  You might select this checkbox if you want to mark the record for deletion, for example.

Parameter ID *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.  You should choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as "PERIOD" or "QUARTERLY."

When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID.  Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to produce reports and run processes more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. Once the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults as necessary.

Description *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Selection Ranges

Use the fields in this block to establish the timesheet cycle and date range associated with the records you want to delete.

Timesheet Cycle (Option) *

This option includes only one record.  This field is non-editable.

Start

Enter, or use Lookup to select, up to four alphanumeric characters to identify the timesheet cycle for which you want to delete allocated compensated overtime.

The timesheet date Start and End fields automatically populate based on the data you enter in this field.

Timesheet Dates (Option) *

This option includes a record range.  This field is non-editable.

The timesheet date range must be within an open timesheet period.

Start

This field displays the start date associated with the timesheet cycle you selected. Enter, or use Lookup to select, a different start date.

This date indicates the start date for which you want to delete the compensated overtime that was previously allocated across timesheet lines.

End

This field displays the end date associated with the timesheet cycle you selected.  Enter, or use Lookup to select, a different date.

This date indicates the end date for which you want to delete the compensated overtime that was previously allocated across timesheet lines.
