The functionality of the fields in this window are similar to the those described for the corresponding islands in the window Time Sheets.
Employee Information Island
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Employee No.
|
In this field you can enter the number of the employee the time sheet is for. Maconomy suggests the employee number of the current user.
|
| Name
|
This field shows the name of the employee.
|
| Department
|
This is the department to which the employee belongs. The field shows the number of the department assigned to the employee according to the employee revision applying on the first day of the time sheet.
|
Period Island
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Week
|
In this field you enter the number of the week to which the time sheet applies. Maconomy automatically suggests the current week.
If split-week time sheets are used, and the current week extends across the change of a month, Maconomy will automatically create two time sheets: Part “A,” covering Monday through the end of the month, and part “B,” covering the beginning of the following month through Sunday. The part currently in use is also displayed in this field.
You can specify a week in which at least one day is within the open posting period for job entries. This period is defined in the window Posting Period Setup in the G/L module. You can also specify a week which comes after the open posting period, if you, for example, need to register time on a job before you go on vacation. However, you should note that Maconomy will give a warning when you specify hours in the fields “Monday–Sunday” in the sub-tab for dates after the open posting period. In addition, it will only be possible to submit such time sheets, but not to perform any actions that will result in a posting. Whether it is the submission, release, or approval that determines when a time sheet is transferred for posting depends on the approval principle of each job. For further information about approval principles, please see the description of the island Approval in the window Jobs. If no open posting period has been specified for job entries, Maconomy uses the open posting period for G/L entries instead.
The open posting period for job entries is different from the one applying to G/L entries in that it can allow the registration of hours in the window Time Sheets and amounts in the window Expense Sheets on dates prior to the open G/L posting period. For further information, please see the introduction to this window.
If the system parameter “Disallow the Creation of Time Sheets Outside Period of Employment” is marked, Maconomy will issue an error message if you attempt to create a time sheet for an employee for a period outside the employee’s period of employment—that is, before he was employed or after he ceased working for the company.
|
| Year
|
In this field, you enter the year of the week. Maconomy automatically suggests the current year.
|
| Date
|
This field displays the date range covered by the current time sheet. If split-week time sheets are used, the field shows the date range for the part of the week covered by the current time sheet.
|
| Week Calendar No.
|
This field shows the number of the week calendar assigned to the employee according to the employee revision applying on the first day of the time sheet. The week calendar is used for calculating the number of working hours in each day.

|
| Resubmission Explanation
|
Enter a reason for resubmission of the time sheet.
|
Working Hours Island
This island has a row for every day in the week, and a row displaying the totals for each column. The fields are used for registering check-in and check-out times to capture actual working time. These times are called actual work time intervals. The actual working time is compared to the expected working time set up for the current employee. Depending on setup, you may be required to register any difference in overtime or flextime. Note that it is possible to specify an interval which spans midnight. In this case, the working time is considered to belong to the date on which work was begun. For more information, please see the description of the window Employees in the Set-Up module.
Note: For all fields in this island, if the
Registration field in the Check-in / out Time Entry island on the Employees workspace is set to Not Allowed, then these fields are not calculated and are not available for entering data.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Expected Check-in
|
These fields show the expected check-in time as specified for the current employee.
These fields show the employee’s fixed number of working hours for each day covered by the time sheet. For each day, the expected check-in time is found using the following procedure:
- Maconomy looks up the check-in time for the weekday in question in the employee revision applying on the date in question. For instance, to find the expected check-in time for Tuesday, November 6, 2007, Maconomy looks up the check-in time for Tuesdays in the employee revision applying on November 6, 2007.
- Maconomy then looks up the week calendar in the employee revision applying on the date in question. In this week calendar, Maconomy checks the check-in time for the date in question.
- If no check-in times are identified in steps 1 and 2, Maconomy leaves the field blank.
Maconomy may be configured to allow the user to edit the expected check-in and check-out. If this is the case, the fixed working hours are not changed — that is, the new expected work time interval applies to the date in question only.
|
| Expected Check-out
|
The functionality of these fields is similar to that of the field “Expected Check-in” above.
|
| Actual Check-in
|
In this field, you can enter the time when you actually came to work.
|
| Actual Check-out
|
In this field, you can enter the time when you actually left work.
|
| Absence
|
In this field, you can enter how many hours you were absent on a particular day. The absence is used in the calculation of actual working hours. For instance, if you need to be absent for two hours due to a dentist’s appointment, you can enter that number of hours in this field. You can also enter a comment regarding your absence in the fields “Remark 1-2.”
|
| Working Hours
|
This field shows the actual working hours. The working hours are calculated from the difference between the check-in time and the check-out time, less any registered absence.
|
| Reg.
|
This field shows the actual time registered on lines in the sub-tab.
|
| Bal.
|
This field shows the balance between the actual working hours from the field “Working Hours” and the registered hours from the field “Reg.”
|
| Var.
|
This field shows any variance between the expected and the actual working hours. Note that if the system parameter “Popup 1 required if difference between exp. and act. work hours” is marked, you are required to select a value in the field “Popup 1” before you can submit the time sheet.
Note that if no working hours are entered (that is, “Actual Check-in” and “Actual Check-out” are empty), the variance is considered to be zero.
|
| Popup 1
|
In this field, you can select a pop-up value. The pop-up field values are created in the pop-up “Time Sheet Popup 1” in the window Popup Fields in the Set-Up module. If the system parameter “Popup 1 required if difference between exp. and act. work hours” is marked, you are required to select a value in this field before you can submit the time sheet, if the value in the field “Var.” is different from zero. This way, you can specify to the accounting department what you want them to do with the difference. For instance, the values in this pop-up field could be “Overtime” and “Flextime.” You could thus specify that the difference should be paid out (“Overtime”) or added to/subtracted from your Flextime account (“Flextime”). Note that the fields are for information only.
|
Total Island
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Time Unit
|
This field shows the unit for time on the time sheet. When you create a time sheet, the time unit is derived from the employee revision that contains the starting date of the time sheet. In the case of split-week time sheets, the two parts may have different time units if the employee has been set up to change time unit between the period start dates of the two time sheet parts. In the case of monthly time reporting, where Maconomy creates time sheets for the entire month when you create a time sheet, each time sheet is created using the time unit that was set up for the employee revision for the given period.
|
| Date
|
In these fields, the dates of the individual weekdays are shown.
|
| Total
|
This column of fields shows the total time in hours or days depending, on the Time Unit.
|
| Fixed
|
This column of fields will show the fixed time in hours or days depending on the Time Unit. For each day, the fixed time unit is found using the following procedure:
- Maconomy looks up the fixed working Time Unit for the weekday in question in the employee revision, that occurs on the date in question. For instance, to find the fixed time for Thursday, November 6, 2014, Maconomy looks up the fixed time amount for Thursdays in the employee revision that occur on November 6, 2014.
- Maconomy then looks up the week calendar in the employee revision applying on the date in question. In this week calendar, Maconomy checks the
Time Unit
field for the date in question.
- The lower of these figures is used as the fixed time for the date.
|
| Overtime
|
This column of fields shows the total overtime in hours or days depending on the Time Unit.

|---|
| Secretary
|
This field shows the name and number of the employee’s secretary. The secretary can, for instance, handle the time sheet registration and transfer for employees if the field “Release Time Sheets” in the window Actions in the Set-Up module has been marked for the individual employee. If the system parameter “Secretary can Approve Time Sheets” is marked, the secretary can also approve the current time sheet. The information is transferred from the main tab of the window Employees in the Set-Up module and cannot be changed here.
|
Mentor Island
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Mentor
|
This field shows the name and number of any mentor assigned to the employee, for example, to assist in the training of the employee.
