Processing Details

The Import Timesheets from Deltek Time and Expense screen processes values from the input file and multiple sources to create timesheet records in Costpoint.

Processing Details

  • The program checks the temporary table to determine whether any rows were not imported. If there are any such rows, Costpoint displays a message on the screen and you can continue or to cancel the process. If you continue, the temporary table is cleared.
  • Records from the input file are read and inserted into the temporary table.
  • The program applies defaults to any fields that are blank in the input file.
  • Validations are performed.
  • After the validations are completed, timesheets for employees with errors (but not warnings) are written to the error file. If there is an error on one line of the timesheet, the program rejects all lines and writes them to the error file. These rows are then deleted from the temporary table. The temporary table now has only valid rows in it.
  • Costpoint calculates the charge hours and labor cost (if blank).
  • If you selected the Auto-Adjust Salaried Employees checkbox, the program auto-adjusts all timesheets for salaried employees in the temporary table. If you selected the Auto-Adjust Hourly Employees checkbox, all the timesheets for hourly employees are auto-adjusted.
  • Costpoint prints the Error Report. If there are errors, a message displays to notify you of this fact. If there are no errors, the Error Report indicates that no records were found.

Import Details

  • The program checks the dates of the rows in the temporary table to verify that they fall within the range of dates entered on the screen.
  • The timesheet line key is set.
  • The program checks the Timesheet Header table again to be sure that the timesheets being imported do not already exist. If duplicates exist, Costpoint displays a message and the import halts.
  • The program inserts rows from the temporary table into the Timesheet Header and Timesheet Line tables.
  • The temporary table is cleared to prevent duplicate uploads.

Project Abbreviation (PROJ_ABBRV_CD)

Costpoint leaves the project abbreviation blank.

Project Labor Category (BILL_LAB_CAT_CD)
  • The project labor category is taken from the input file.
  • Costpoint first uses the transaction project's setup to determine which project is used to default the PLC. If the Use Top Level Work Force checkbox is selected for the transaction project on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow, Costpoint uses the transaction project's top level.

    If you did not select the transaction project's Use Top Level Work Force checkbox, Costpoint then determines whether a source project is assigned to the transaction project. If a source project exists in the first row of the Define Rate Sequence table, the program uses that source project to determine the PLC default value.

    If you did not select the Use Top Level Work Force checkbox and no source project exists for the transaction project, the program uses the transaction project to determine the PLC default value.

    The default value is assigned as follows:

  • The first level of PLC default is the Assign PLC to Employee Work Force subtask of the Project Employee Work Force screen. If the project and employee exist in this screen, the PLC with a Defaults value of Y is inserted into the transaction. This screen is used as a basis for default whether or not you have selected the Project Work Force Required checkbox on the Basic Info tab of the Project User Flow. If a PLC default value is found, the search ends here. If not, the process continues.
  • Costpoint then determines whether the project's Project Work Force Required checkbox is selected on the Basic Info tab of the Project User Flow. If so, the search for a PLC default value ends here. If the checkbox is not selected, the process searches non-work force related screens for a PLC default value.
  • If the transaction project, the employee, and a PLC default value exist on the Manage Employee Project Timesheet Defaults screen, the PLC in this screen is inserted into the transaction and the default process ends here. If no PLC default exists in this screen, the process continues.
  • If the transaction project's account group, the employee, and a PLC default value exist on the Manage Employee Proj-Acct-Group Timesheet Defaults screen, the PLC in this screen is inserted into the transaction and the default process ends here. If no PLC default exists in this screen, the process continues.
  • If the transaction project's account group, the employee's labor group, and a PLC default value exist on the Manage Labor-Group Proj-Acct-Group Timesheet Defaults screen, the PLC from this screen is inserted into the transaction and the default process ends here. If no PLC default exists in this screen, the process continues.
  • If the transaction project and a PLC default value exist on the Manage Project Timesheet Defaults screen, the PLC in this screen is inserted into the transaction and the default process ends here. If no PLC default exists in this screen, the process continues.
  • If the top level/source/transaction project, the transaction GLC, and a PLC default value exist on the Link GLC to Project PLC subtask of the > Link Project Labor Categories to Projects > screen, the PLC in this screen is inserted into the transaction and the default process ends here. If no PLC default exists in this screen, the process continues.
  • If the transaction GLC and a PLC default value exist on the Manage General Labor Categories screen, the PLC in this screen is inserted into the transaction. This is the last level of PLC default.
  • Costpoint determines whether a PLC is required for the transaction. If no project exists on the transaction, a PLC is not required and the validation process ends without error. If a PLC does exist on the transaction but no project is specified, an error message prints. If a project exists and no error occurred, the validation process continues to step b.
  • If you selected the Project Work Force Required checkbox for the project on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow, the work force validations are performed. Costpoint uses the appropriate project (top level, source, or transaction) to validate the employee against the work force. If the employee is not assigned to the appropriate work force, an error message prints. If the employee is assigned to the appropriate work force, the validation process continues to the next step.
  • If the top level/source/transaction project does not exist on the Link Project Labor Categories to Projects screen, the validation process ends without error. If the project does not exist on the Link Project Labor Categories to Projects screen, it means that all PLCs are linked to that project. If the project does exist on the Link Project Labor Categories to Projects screen, the validation process continues to the next step.
  • If the PLC field is blank, Costpoint determines the project/account combination's Project Account Group function. If the function is Labor, an error message prints to inform you that the PLC is required. If the function is not Labor, the validation process ends without error. If the PLC field is not blank, the validation process continues to the next step.
  • If the PLC field is not blank, the next step depends on the project's Project Work Force Required checkbox on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow.
  • If you selected the Project Work Force Required checkbox for the project, the project/employee/PLC combination is validated against the Assign PLC to Employee Work Force table. If the combination exists there, the validation process ends here without error. If the combination does not exist in this table, an error message prints.
  • If you did not select the Project Work Force Required checkbox for the project, the project/PLC combination is validated against the Assign PLC to Projects table. If the combination exists there, the validation process ends here without error. If the combination does not exist in this table, an error message prints.
