Field help (PTESTA)

Select this check box to filter the employee time records to be selected by the current status (work in progress) of the time entry. The following stages are associated with the processing cycle of a time entry record:

• New/Awaiting validation, for a new time entry.
• Validated, if the time entry is complete and has been validated, or a new time entry has been created at Validated status (the PJMTIMAUTO - Time entry auto. validation parameter (TC chapter, PJM group) is set to Yes).
  Validation that the time recorded is correct is usually made by the employee or user that entered the time entry record, or by a time entry administrator.
• Controlled, if the time entry is complete and has been validated and controlled.
  All 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 is usually carried out by a project manager, or a project administrator. Whatever the role of the time entry record administrator, they must be authorized as such in their user record. See Note below.
• Approved, if the time entry is complete and has been validated and controlled (optional phase), and is approved for posting.
  Approval of a time entry is usually made by a project manager, or a project administrator.
• Posted, if the time entry is complete, and has been validated and controlled, approved, and posted.
• Rejected, if the time entry is complete and has been validated, and then rejected.
  Rejected time entries are redisplayed in the Time entry (PJMTE) and Weekly timesheet (PJMTEW) functions for correction.

 All time entry records must first be validated then controlled (mandatory if the PJMTIMENT - Time entry control phase parameter (TC chapter, PJM group) is set) before they can be approved then posted. Authorization for each stage of the processing cycle of a time entry record is controlled by the user record, as follows:

The Time entry check box must be selected to enter and validate your own labor time.

The Time entry check box and the Time entry administrator check box must be selected to enter labor time for a different user.

The assigned function profile must be authorized for function PTEVAL (Time approval) with option 4 to "validate" labor time for a different user.

The assigned function profile must be authorized for function PTEVAL (Time approval) with option 5 to "control", and option 6 to "approve" labor time.

To "reject" a time entry line, the assigned function profile must be authorized for function PTEVAL (Time approval) with option 7.
