To edit an existing period, select the button to the left of the row then select the Edit Period function.
This field displays the period that you are editing.
Select the start date for this period from the Calendar Lookup.
Select the end date for this period from the Calendar Lookup.
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.
Select this checkbox to indicate that the period is open.
Select this checkbox if missing timesheets can be added for this period.
Select this checkbox if open timesheets can be changed for this period.
Select this checkbox if signed timesheets can be changed for this period.
Select this checkbox if approved timesheets can be changed for this period.
Select this checkbox if processed timesheets can be changed for this period.
Select this checkbox if rejected timesheets can be changed for this period.
Select the OK pushbutton to close the Edit Period dialog box and to populate the Timesheet Schedules screen table with the updated period information.
If you change the Start Date and timesheet cells already exist from before the new date, the system will display the following error message: "The Start Date cannot be changed for this schedule because earlier timesheet cells already exist for this schedule."
If you change the End Date and timesheet cells exist after the new date, the system will display the following error message: "The End Date cannot be changed for this schedule because later timesheet cells already exist for this schedule."
Select the Cancel pushbutton to close the Edit Period dialog box and return to the Timesheet Schedules screen.
