Enter a Labor Code for a Timesheet

When you enter hours on a timesheet for a project, you specify a labor code for the hours.

You can enter the full labor code in the Labor Code column on the timesheet or use the Labor Code lookup to select a value for each labor code level.

To use the Labor Code lookup to select a labor code for a timesheet:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select My Stuff > Timesheet.
  2. If the timesheet displayed is not the one that you want, use the search field to search for and select the one that you want to update.
    A No Default Labor Code warning displays if your system administrator selected None in the Labor Code field in Settings > Time > Options and did not also enter a Default Labor Code value for you on the Time & Expense tab in the Employees hub. Your administrator must assign a default code so you can modify your labor codes.
  3. In the Labor Code column, click .
  4. On the Labor Code Lookup dialog box, select a code for each of the labor code levels.
    You can:
    • Filter the list of codes by using the search field to enter all or part of a code or name for a labor code level. Only the codes corresponding to the specified information display in the list box.
    • Scroll through the list box to select a labor code level.
    • To sort by code, click or to the left of each list box heading to sort in ascending or descending order. To sort by description, click or to the right of the heading. If you have previously sorted a list by either code or description, the last icon used appears in the header.
    If, instead of the search field, the Filter Budgeted Levels check box displays above the list and is selected, that indicates that only labor codes for which you are budgeted or planned for the project are available in the list. You can clear this check box and select from all of the labor codes for the level if the Type of Validation field on the Accounting tab of the Projects form is set to Warning. If Type of Validation is set to Error, then the filter check box is disabled and you can only select from the displayed short list of values.
  5. Click Select to enter the labor code in the timesheet row.
