Enabling Import of Check-in Entries

Use these steps to enable the import of check-in entries.

Prerequisites

Before you can import check-in data, you must do the following:

• Ensure that the days of all entries to be imported are covered by existing time sheet headers in Maconomy. If the time sheet header does not exist, you can do the following:
• Create them manually in the Time & Expense workspace
• Create them in the import file.
• Do not import these entries at all.
• Enable the Enable Check-in Import for Submitted Timesheets system parameter.
• Each check-in entry in the file has to have the Imported field set to true when importing to submitted timesheets.
• Create daily check-in headers for each entry to be imported.

On the employee revision, selecting any option except Disabled in the Check-in field automatically triggers the creation of daily check-in headers on existing time sheet headers.

Note:

It is recommended to select the Optional value when enabling this on the employee record for less restrictions when you import the data. You may choose a different value, but you must take care that your entries follow the stricter validation rules imposed by them.
