Screen Fields

Use fields on the Manage Timesheet Schedules screen to provide the starting and ending dates for timesheets and to provide the scope of a specific period. Timesheets are signed and approved according to the timesheet schedules. You should set up timesheet schedules before you enter employee history information.

Examples of schedules are "Weekly," "Bi-weekly," "Semi-monthly," and "Monthly." Deltek Time supports multiple schedules, so it is possible to have a Weekly schedule ending on Friday and a Weekly schedule ending on Sunday along with a Semi-Monthly schedule.

Note: You must save the Timesheet Schedule Code and Description for new schedules before adding schedule year and period information. Once you save the Code and Description select the Create Year function to add this information.

Timesheet Schedules Fields

Field	Description
Code	You can add a record by selecting New and entering a 10-character, uppercase alphanumeric code for the timesheet schedule. Each timesheet schedule must be unique.
Description	Enter a timesheet schedule description of up to 30 characters. Because they are used in drop-down boxes and as column headings for reports/inquiries, make descriptions as short as possible and properly capitalized. Each timesheet schedule description must be unique.
Current Year	If you are returning from the Create Year dialog, the year from that dialog will display as the default current period in the field. If you have set up multiple years for this schedule, the years will display as other choices in the drop-down box.
Current Period	If you are returning from the Create Year dialog, "001" will default as the period in the field. The periods available in the drop-down box will all be existing periods for the timesheet schedule and year. Select the period you want as the current period.

Timesheet Schedule Periods

Note: With the release of Deltek Time\Expense\Self Service 7.0, you can directly edit the various check boxes in the table without using the Edit option.

Field	Description
Period	Enter a unique period for this timesheet schedule.
Start Date	Select the start date for this period from the Calendar Lookup.
End Date	Select the end date for this period from the Calendar Lookup.
Open	Select this check box to indicate that the period is open. This check box is initially unchecked.

Period Text	In Period Text, you can enter up to 10 characters of text for each timesheet period you set up. This text is then displayed in parentheses following the period ending date in the Timesheets screen and when you print timesheets. Here are two ways you might use period text: To display the fiscal week: 07/14/2007 (28) To indicate the payroll week when, for example, you have weekly timesheet periods and bi-weekly payroll: 07/14/2007 (Week 1) If Allow Timesheet Period Text is not checked in the Time Configuration screen, the Period Text field is not available. The timesheet schedules must match the timesheet cycles configured in Deltek Costpoint. Note: You cannot delete a timesheet schedule if it is set as the default Timesheet Schedule in the Links/Defaults tab of the Configuration screen, if it has been used for an employee in the past, or if it is being used on a current timesheet.
