Projects > Time management > Time entry 

Use this function to enter labor time on a day-by-day basis.

You can use this function either independently, or in conjunction with the Weekly timesheet function (PJMTEW).

If you are entering your own time you can enter labor time against your projects, against specific task operations and budget codes, as well as against non-project activities such as training or annual leave.

If you are authorized as a time entry administrator you can enter labor time for any employee.

Entry, approval, and posting of labor time occurs in separate individual stages. An optional stage is available to your organization if they require it. This additional stage is called a "control" phase. It is essentially the opportunity for one time entry administrator to review a validated time entry record before a different time entry administrator approves it. With a control phase in place the processing cycle of a time entry record is as follows:

  • Entry: Labor time is entered, then validated.
    Entry and validation takes place in this function (PJMTE) or in the Weekly timesheet function (PJMTEW).
    Entry, and validation that the time entered is correct is usually made by the employee themselves, by the user that entered the time entry record, or by a time entry administrator.
    Each new time entry record is created at Validated status if the PJMTIMAUTO - Time entry auto. validation parameter (TC chapter, PJM group) is set to Yes.
  • Control: All validated time entry records must be "controlled" before they can be approved if the PJMTIMENT - Time entry control phase parameter (TC chapter, PJM group) is set to Mandatory.
    The "control" phase takes place in the Time approval function (PTEVAL).
    Time entry record control is usually carried out by a project manager or a project administrator. Whatever the role of the manager or administrator they must be authorized as such in their function profile, as defined in their user record.
  • Approval: Validated and controlled (optional phase) time entry records are approved or rejected.
    Approval or rejection of a validated and controlled time entry record takes place in the Time approval function (PTEVAL), again usually by a project manager or a project administrator.
    • Time entry records must be approved before they can be posted.
    • A time entry record cannot be changed once it has been controlled.
    • Rejected time entry records are redisplayed in this function and in the Weekly timesheet function for correction.
  • Posting: When a time entry record is posted it is included as a cost against a project in the accounting module.
    The posting of an approved time entry record takes place in the Time posting function (PTELABPOS).

 All time entry records must first be validated then controlled (mandatory if the PJMTIMENT parameter is set) before they can be approved then posted.

    Presentation

    This section displays the time spent, by date, according to the defined selection filters. Use this section to enter labor time for a project, a task, an operation, for a specific budget code, and for non-project activities such as training or annual leave. Each time entry line for a project provides expense information which is used to calculate the rate to be charged to the project.

    You can use the PJMTIMBUD - Allow time entries on budgets and PJMTIMTAS - Allow time entries on tasks parameters (TC chapter, PJM group) to control mandatory or optional recording of time against task operations and budget codes.

     "Rejected" time entry lines are displayed for correction. Controlled, approved and posted time entry lines are not displayed.

     A "control phase" for approving validated time entry lines applies if the PJMTIMENT - Time entry control phase parameter (TC chapter, PJM group) is set to Mandatory. Only when a time entry line is at Controlled status can it then be advanced to Approved status and posted against a project.

        • If a link with a work center is established, the cost type defined on the operation resource (work center record) is displayed.
        • If a link is established at the task category level, the cost type defined on the task category is displayed.
        • If a link with a work center or task category fails, the link is established at the user level and the cost type defined on the user record is displayed.
        • If the system fails to obtain a linked cost type code, the cost type defined in the PCCCOD - Default labor cost type parameter (TC chapter, PJM group) is displayed.
      • For non-project activities such as training or annual leave, the cost type code is determined as follows:
        • If a link with a time category is established, the cost type defined on the time category record is displayed.
        • If a link with a time category fails, the link is established at the user level and the cost type defined on the user record is displayed.
        • If a link with a time category and the user record fails, this field is left blank.

         Project cost types define types of cost that can affect a project such as raw materials, labor costs and indirect costs.

         The Financial overview function (PJMFINOV0) uses this cost type to calculate actuals.

      This field displays the employee cost type against which this labor time will be recorded. The cost type code is determined by the cost type defined on your or this employee's user record but can be amended.

      • For project-related activities, if your user cost type is blank the Employee cost type code is determined as follows:
        • The Project cost type is displayed.
        • If your user cost type is blank and the Project cost type is blank, the cost type defined in the PCCCOD - Default labor cost type parameter (TC chapter, PJM group) is displayed.
      • For non-project activities such as training or annual leave, if your user cost type is blank the cost type code is determined as follows:
        • The cost type defined on the time category record is displayed.
        • If your user cost type is blank and the time category cost type is blank, this field is left blank.

       Project cost types define types of cost that can affect a project such as labor costs.

      • Project labor rate (field PJMCST)

      This field displays the labor rate at which time is charged to this project for this time entry line. You can change the default rate.

      • For project-related activities, the labor rate is determined by the value of the PJMCSTLAB - Project labor rate priority parameter (TC chapter, PJM group), as follows:
        • If set to Employee, the labor rate defined on your or this employee's user record is displayed.
        • If set to Project cost type, the labor rate defined on the project cost type record is displayed.
      • For non-project activities such as training or annual leave, the labor rate is determined as follows:
        • The labor rate defined on the cost type record linked to the time category is displayed.
        • If there is no link with the time category, the labor rate defined on your or this employee's user record is displayed.
        • If a link with the time category and the user record fails, this field is left blank.

      • Employee labor rate (field CLBCST)

      This field displays the rate at which this labor time is charged to this project for this time entry line. You can change the default rate.

      • For project-related activities, the rate is determined by the value of the PJMCST - Employee labor rate priority parameter (TC chapter, PJM group), as follows:
        • If set to Employee, the hourly rate defined on your or this employee's user record is displayed.
        • If set to Project cost type, the labor rate defined on the project cost type record is displayed.
      • For non-project activities such as training or annual leave, the rate is determined as follows:
        • The hourly rate defined on your or this employee's user record is displayed.
        • If a link with the user record fails, the labor rate defined on the cost type record linked to the time category is displayed.
        • If a link with the user record and the time category fails, this field is left blank.

       The financial overviews use this rate to consolidate time entry expenses.

      • Rate multiplier (field PTETYPRAT)

      This field displays the factor by which the labor rates defined in the Project labor rate (PJMCST) and Employee labor rate (CLBCST) fields for this time entry will be multiplied. It is determined by the value of the Time category field (PTETYP). For example, it will display "1" if the time category is blank as this equates to standard working time, or "2" if the defined time category equates to a rate to be paid at double standard working time. If set to "0" (zero) this time entry record will be valued at zero.

      This rate multiplier is used in the Financial overview function (PJMFINOV0) (cost calculation) and in the Time posting function (PTELABPOS) to calculate the value of the associated journal entry line. The amount posted will be calculated using the appropriate formula:

      • Time spent (PTEQTY field) x Project labor rate (PJMCST field) x Rate multiplier (PTETYPRAT field)
      • Time spent (PTEQTY field) x Employee labor rate (CLBCST field) x Rate multiplier (PTETYPRAT field).

       If the time category equates to a zero rate, this will result in the amount of time recorded in the Time spent field being recorded against the defined project but the value of that labor time will be zero.​

      This field defaults to the currency associated with the sales site (Sales site field) defined for the project. It cannot be changed once the project has been created.

      This field displays the code of the user that created or entered this record.

      This field displays the code of the last user to modify this record.

      This field displays the code of the user that validated this record.

      This field, if populated, displays the code of the user that formally rejected this record.
