Timesheet Warnings |
If you see a warning icon, some kind of warning was generated when you saved or signed your timesheet. Click to view the warning.
|
Selection Check Box |
Use the check boxes in the left-most column to select one or more timesheet lines. Then apply these functions to the selected lines: Copy Line, Delete Line, Reset Line, Reverse Line, or Add Line to Favorites. Some functions may not be available for certain lines. You cannot select a line if you have any incomplete lines on the timesheet. |
Line Comments |
If you want to add a comment to explain a line, or edit an existing comment, click in the first column. Enter a comment of up to 4,000 characters. If you saved a timesheet line without a line comment and you wish to add one, click in any hours cell for that line and the icon will display. |
Line Numbers |
The second column lists timesheet line numbers. It may also display the line level approval icon if your company uses the line level approval feature. |
Line Level Approval |
If your company uses the line level approval feature., one of three icons may appear to the left of the line number. Click these icons to see more information or, if you have the appropriate rights, to approve or reject a timesheet line. |
For information about approving or rejecting an employee's timesheet see the Timesheet Line Level Approval Screen help topic. | |
Remaining Columns |
Use the remaining columns to enter the project numbers, charge numbers, or other codes that you use to identify timesheet charges. The Charge Description column always displays, but the other columns are chosen and set up by your system administrator to suit your company's business practices. Click on a column to display the Search icon and view the lookup for the column. For example, if the column contains project numbers, use the lookup to find the correct project number. Note: For the Pay Type (UDT10) line, an "i" icon displays that opens an Information Card. The card displays different details about the charge, but the details vary by charge. For example, and depending on configuration, an MO charge includes the In-Shop and Need Date.
You can speed up timesheet entry by setting up "favorites" for the charges that you use frequently. With favorites, you enter the codes for a charge line once and save them for future use. See the Set Up Favorite Charges help topic for more information. You system administrator may also set up your timesheet to automatically load any holiday and scheduled leave hours for the timesheet period, based on your work schedule, when it loads favorites. |
Right Pane
Field | Description |
---|---|
Day Columns |
The timesheet has a column for each day in the timesheet period. |
Hours Cells |
For each day, enter the number of hours you worked on each of the charges in the left pane. You cannot enter hours for a line that has incomplete charge information. If you try, the following message displays: The timesheet line is incomplete. Please provide required information or reset line. Note: If automatic calculation of overtime hours is enabled for your timesheet class, you can enter all hours worked as Regular, and Time & Expense will automatically calculate the portion of hours that should be distributed to an overtime pay type, when you sign the timesheet. After the timesheet is signed successfully, the Overtime Distribution subtask link displays on your timesheet. Click the link to view your overtime. If you are not sure whether or not your timesheet class is configured to calculate overtime, check with your System Administrator.
If your employee timesheet class has the proration feature enabled, hours will display as either Entered or Prorated, based on the toggle button at the top of the screen. See the Special Topic: Hours Proration help topic for more information. If you have entered cell comments in an hour cell, the cell comment icon appears in the cell. If you click inside an hours cell that does not already have a cell comment, displays so that you can add a comment. The background color of an hours cell is determined by the type of day set up in your work schedule:
|
The text color of an hours cell depends on its status.
The number of decimal positions that are displayed depends on how your timesheet is configured. Possible settings are:
| |
Regular | This row displays the total of all regular hours entered for that day. If automatic overtime calculation is enabled for your timesheet class, the total number of regular hours might be updated if overtime is calculated after you sign the timesheet. |
Overtime | This row displays the total of all overtime hours entered or calculated for that day. If your timesheet class is configured to automatically calculate overtime, the total will be adjusted to reflect the total overtime hours after the timesheet is signed. Hours entered on the timesheet as Regular will be automatically redistributed to overtime, and the total in Overtime is updated accordingly. |
Total Hours |
The total hours value displayed in the bottom right corner of the timesheet grid is a hyperlink. When you select it, you see a dialog box that summarizes the total hours by UDT10. |
