Creating New Labour Charge Field Values |
|
Notes:
These instructions do not apply to the Job and TimeZone charge fields.
For these special labour charge fields, see Creating
New Time Zone Values and Creating
New Job Values.
The procedure below describes how to create a new labour charge field
value using the Add New button.
You can also create new labour charge field values by copying
an existing value and then editing and saving the copy with a new
ID. Copying is particularly useful if you want to create a new value with
similar settings to an existing value.
To create a new labour charge field value for use with a particular labour charge field:
In Administrator Services, click the Administration tab then click the Setup subtab.
Under the Labor
Charge Fields heading, click the
name of the labour charge field (for example, Wage Rate Programs)
for which you want to create new values.
A Labour Charge Values
page (where
Labour Charge
is the name of the labour charge field you selected)
opens and displays the
labour charge field values that have been defined for the labour charge
field you selected. For example, if you selected Wage Rate Programs,
a Wage Rate Programs page opens and displays the wage rate programs
that have been created.
Click the Add
New button on the right side of the Labour Charge Values
page.
A blank Labour Charge
page (where
Labour Charge
is the name of the labour charge field you were viewing)
opens. For
example, if you were viewing a list of Wage Rate Program values, a
blank Wage Rate Program page opens.
In the first field of the Labour Charge page, enter the ID for the value you are creating. This field is required.
Tips:
The label for the first field will have the same name as the labour
charge field. For example, on the Wage Rate Program page, the first
field is called Wage Rate Program. Enter the Wage Rate Program ID
in this field.
The ID is a code consisting of up to 25 letters and/or numbers that
a user will enter into the labour charge field on the Time Sheet,
Timecard Manager, scheduling pages, etc. It is helpful to make the
ID short and easy to remember.
Tip: Fields marked with a red arrow () are
required.
In the Description section, enter a brief description of the value in each language supported by your company. This field is required. Both the ID and the description are displayed in labour charge value lookup windows.
In the Start Date field, click
the button and select
the date on which you want the value to become available for use.
In the End Date field, click
the button and select
the last date on which you want the value to be available for use.
Tip: Entering a start date and end date is not required. Values without start and end dates defined are always available if the Active check box is selected. If a start date is defined for a value but no end date is specified, the value will be available indefinitely after the start date has passed, as long as the Active box is checked. If an end date is defined but no start date is given, the value will be available until the end date has passed, as long as the Active box is checked.
If the Supervisor
ID field is displayed and the new labour charge field value should
be associated with a specific supervisor,
enter the appropriate supervisor
ID or use the click the button to select one.
Notes:
The Supervisor ID
field will only appear if your company has configured the labour charge
field for employee loan. If the Supervisor
ID field does appear and you enter a supervisor
ID, the specified supervisor
will be able to view and approve any time pair charged to this labour
charge value, even if he or she does not normally supervise the employee
who charged time to the labour charge value.
The supervisor ID
is not the same as the supervisor’s
Employee ID. It is the supervisor’s
User ID. If you are unsure which ID to enter, use the button to help you find the correct ID.
To learn more about employee loan see the Loaning and Borrowing Employees
Overview.
If you do not want the new value you are creating to be immediately available for use, click the Active check box to remove the check mark.
Notes:
The Active check box allows you to make a labour charge field value
unavailable without deleting it permanently. When you use the Add
New button to create a new labour charge value, the Active box is
checked by default.
If the Active check box is selected and no start and end dates are
defined, the value is always available. If the Active check box is
selected and start and end dates are defined, the value is only available
during the specified date range.
Click Submit to save the new labour charge field value.
