Labor Options

Adjust the settings for batch processing, wage determination, union, multicurrency, timesheet posting, and Shop Floor Time.

Field	Description
Enable timesheet batch processing	Select this checkbox to turn on the feature for calculating "running" control totals for regular hours, other (overtime) hours and total hours, and by timesheet type (regular, other than regular, and total number of timesheets) for a Group (or batch) of timesheets being entered on the Manage Timesheets screen. Select this checkbox to enable user entry of control totals for the batch before beginning timesheet entry. These control totals are compared to the system-calculated totals and you are alerted to any differences when you exit the timesheet entry screens.
Enable wage determination functionality	Select this checkbox to enable the processing and setup of screens for wage determination project fringe and wage-related amounts. Selecting this checkbox (along with the Require Labor Location checkbox) enables the Manage Wage Determination Fringe Charge Codes screen, where you establish the charge settings for handling WD project fringe amounts. It also enables the Manage Wage Determination Rates screen, where you establish base pay rates per hour and an associated handling method, Fringe Amounts per Hour, and a related Fringe Payment Method. Fringe codes are established on the Manage Fringe Codes screen. The Fringe Payment Method enables the automatic generation of a "Fringe" timesheet line, when the timesheet line being charged results in "Fringe" fields being found in the Wage Determination Rates table, and the Wage Determination Rates record has the Fringe Payment Method set to Cash. For Costpoint Multicurrency (MU) users, if you selected both the Enable Wage Determination checkbox and the Enable Multicurrency Functionality checkbox, wage determination will be applied only to timesheets with USD (US Dollar) as transaction currency. This functionality is implemented in the following screens: Manage Timesheets Manage Correcting Timesheets Import Timesheets Import Timesheets from Deltek Time & Expense Create Auto-Pay Timesheets Create Retroactive Timesheet Adjustments
Enable union functionality	Select this checkbox to allow the processing of Union Payroll and enable access to the applicable Union tables. It also enables the Manage Union Profiles screen, where you establish the union, local, and crew chief information. Select this checkbox to access the Crew Assignment, Manage Fringe Codes, and Manage Fringe Modify Codes. If you select this checkbox, you cannot use the Manage Wage Determination Fringe Charge Codes and the Manage Wage Determination Rates screens. If you select this checkbox, the Require labor location checkbox is automatically selected and the Apply union non-cash fringe ceilings by local checkbox becomes enabled.
Apply union non-cash fringe ceilings by local	Select this checkbox to apply union fringe pay period and contract ceilings at the local level, rather than at the local/union/GLC level. If you select this checkbox, you have access to the Manage Union Fringe Ceilings by Local screen. In addition, the Compute Payroll process applies the ceilings set up on the Manage Union Fringe Ceilings by Local screen, rather than the ceilings from the Fringe Table subtask of the Manage Union Profiles screen. If this checkbox is selected and no ceilings are assigned to a local/fringe code on the Manage Union Fringe Ceilings by Local screen, no ceilings are applied to that local/fringe code. However, when you compute payroll, Costpoint prints a warning report, listing which local/fringe code combinations were not set up on the Manage Union Fringe Ceilings by Local screen.
Direct charge union fringes	Select this checkbox if all union cash, non-cash and stamp fringes should be directly charged to a project. If selected, the Direct Charge checkbox will be automatically selected and disabled on the Manage Union Profiles application. Users setting up the union profile fringes will not be able to clear that checkbox. If not selected, the Direct Charge checkbox will be enabled and you can opt to direct charge union fringes at the fringe code level on the Manage Union Profiles screen and the Expense Account assigned to that fringe code must be a project-required account. Note: You can select this checkbox if the Enable union functionality checkbox is selected on the Configure Labor Settings screen.
Enable multicurrency functionality	Select this checkbox to allow multicurrency functionality in labor and leave transactions. Note: You can view this checkbox only when your company has a Costpoint Multicurrency (MU) license. When you select this checkbox, the Reconciliation Method on the Configure Leave Settings screen will be automatically set to Employee. Warning: If your company assigns the DLTKSMB UI profile, to certain Costpoint user/user groups on the Manage User Interface Profiles screen, you must clear the Enable multicurrency functionality checkbox to prevent validation errors when the users access the screens which have multicurrency functionality.

Timesheet Posting

Field	Description
Accrued Salaries Account	Enter, or click to select, the GL account number to be used for recording accrued salaries. Costpoint uses this account when posting to the GL. The posting is generated at the Balance Sheet Level designated in the Top Level Org table for each employee's home organization. The description of the account displays in the adjacent field.
Post leave memo timesheet lines to the general ledger	Select this checkbox to enable the system to post L (Leave Memo) type timesheet lines to the GL. When you clear this checkbox, the L type timesheet lines will not be posted to the GL, but they will still be posted to the Leave History, Employee Leave Balance, and Timesheet Line History tables. The posting will not be out-of-balance since L timesheet lines have no associated labor cost but have data related to tracking of leave hours used.

Shop Floor Time

Note: You can view this group box only when your company has a Shop Floor Time license.

Field	Description
Correcting Timesheet Date Source	From the drop-down list, select the method for determining the date of correcting timesheets. Valid options are: Date of correction Original timesheet date Last day of current open pay period Last day of next pay period Last day of next timesheet period Not applicable
Export unposted used leave	Select this checkbox if both posted and unposted used leave should be included when leave balances are exported to Shop Floor Time from the Export Project Manufacturing Data screen. If you select this checkbox selected, leave balances will be based on this formula: Leave Balance = Beginning Balance + Year-to-Date Accrued Leave - Posted Used Leave - Unposted Used Leave. If this checkbox is not selected, only posted used leave will be included when leave balances are exported to Shop Floor Time from the Export Project Manufacturing Data screen. If you clear this checkbox, leave balances will be based on this formula: Leave Balance = Beginning Balance + Year-to-Date Accrued Leave - Posted Used Leave.
