E-Time - R12

NOTE: As of Patch 20, support for the following JSP screens will be limited: JSP E-Time Desktop Approval, JSP Mechanic Time Entry, JSP E-Time Entry, and JSP Crew Time Entry. While these screens will remain accessible from our standard menu, no further enhancements will be made. Users are encouraged to transition to the timesheet entry solutions available in the Construct ESS (App) and the Construct CT app to benefit from continued support and new feature development.

The E-Time system allows employees and payroll administrators to maintain timesheet and expense data via a web-based, secure-entry system. Depending on the settings, E-Time data may require an administrator to approve entered timesheets. Conversely, employees may be able to enter their own timesheet records without requiring access to the Enterprise application.

Functionality

Once a timesheet has been entered into the E-Time module and approved, the data in it is moved to the Payroll module in Enterprise. Expenses can likewise be entered into E-Time or added later in Payroll. Please see the US Payroll – R12 manual for further details.

Prerequisites

Before entering timesheets in E-Time, the US Payroll module should be configured. There are settings in the Payroll module (specifically the Employee Profile screen) that relate to E-Time; these include which hour types an employee may enter through E-Time and setting up which E-Time periods to use. Refer to E-Time - Configuration for more information on timesheet setup.

NOTE: If timesheet approval is not required, the system can automatically approve timesheets when they are submitted by employees. This is done by checking the 'Auto. Timesheet Approval' box on the E-Timesheet tab of the Company Control screen (standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Company > Control – E-Timesheet).

Module Interactions

The E-Time module is directly integrated with the US Payroll and Job Costing modules in Enterprise. The former should be set-up to receive and allow entry of timesheet data in E-Time. The latter should be set-up in order to cost timesheet data to various jobs.
