Contents of the Recast Overtime Premium to Timesheet Lines Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Display the Recast Overtime Premium to Timesheet Lines screen.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Field Description
Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Selection Ranges

Timesheet Cycle

Use the items in this group box to enter the timesheet cycle you want to recast.

Field Description

Enter, or click to select, the timesheet cycle code for the timesheets you want to process. Other timesheet cycles are not processed, and only one timesheet cycle can be processed at a time. Only eligible timesheets in this range are recast. Each regular timesheet and timesheet line is recasted by itself, even if several are included in the time range. If you do not select the All in the Option field, this is a required field. After you make your selection, the cycle's start date and end date display in the Start Date and End Date fields.

End Date

This editable field displays the end date of the selected Timesheet Cycle. To change it, enter, or click to select, a timesheet cycle end date for the timesheets to be included in the recast process. This is a required field.

You can only use the following fields if Multi-Currency functionality is enabled in the Configure Labor Settings screen.

Option

From the drop-down list, select whether All or One of the transaction currencies will be part of the selection criteria.

Start

Enter, or click to select, the transaction currency of recast timesheet lines that you want to create.

MO Timesheet Line Options

Note: If your company has a Costpoint Production Control license, this group box does not display.
Field Description
Allow Recast of MO to Non-MO Timesheet Lines

Select this checkbox to allow recasting of M (Manufacturing Order) type timesheet lines to a project/account/org combination that is not linked to the timesheet line's MO.

If you select this checkbox and an M type timesheet line is being recast to a project/account/org combination that is not linked to the MO, the overtime premium portion of the timesheet line recasts to an A type timesheet line (rather than an M type timesheet line), and the positive recast doesn't reflect in the Manufacturing Order Timesheet Line (TS_LN_MO) table.

If you do not select this checkbox and an M type timesheet line is being recast, the overtime premium portion of the timesheet line recasts to an M type timesheet line, and the positive recast reflects in the Manufacturing Order Timesheet Line (TS_LN_MO) table. You cannot recast to a project/organization/account combination that is not assigned to the MO.

Click to and select Print/Post Overtime Premium print the report and then continue immediately (without user intervention) into the recasting process.
