Hours Type in OTL

Hi,
I am trying to fill in a self service time card for a employee. I see two fields on the time card as Hours Type and Cost Center. Problem is the list of values for both these are empty so i cant choose any value for them. If i submit without putting hours type then i get a error on submission. Please can someone help me as i am new to OTL
Thanks

OTL Timecard -- Hours Type LOV issue

I am facing some problem with the timecard. Scenerio is there is one employee who is eligible for all premium type elements.
Now the employee data is updated.Now employee is eligible for restricted premium types.
Lets say there is a timecard from 26th july,2010 to 2nd aug,2010. Employee data is updated on 28th jul,2010.
Now in timecard for that employee i am able to see duplicate values in Hours type field.
eg. Lets say employee till 27th jul,2010 is able to view premium entries like
1. Overtime Weekend
2. Overtime Weekday
3. Day Shift allowance etc.
and from 28th jul,2010 as the employee data is changed he will only see the Day Shift allowance in timecard.
But employee while entering is able to see Day shift allowance twice along with Overtime Weekend and Overtime Weekday for time card 26th july,2010 to 2nd aug,2010.
What would be the solution for that?

I would say its the correct functionality. Even though, all the premium elements are getting displayed, they won't pass the validation on either on time entry or during transfer process. What's the otl patching level?
If you are still concerned, raise an SR.

OTL - Hours Type Hard Coding

Hello,
While creating a Time card in OTL, we want to restrict a particular operating unit of ours to have only "Regular" Hours Type. In general, the Alias for Hours Type has both the "Regular" and "Overtime" . This being through the OAF am not sure, how this could be achieved.
TIA..

Hi,
You can go through OA Framework Developer's Guide,Chapter 9 - Extending OA Framework Applications to get a start.
Thanks.

OTL timekeeper entry - retrieve Hours type

Hi guys,
In the Timekeeper(OTL) entry form (where you enter time for multiple workers) there is a 'Hours Type' field .
I need to retrieve the 'hours type' field value(As displayed in timekeeper entry screen) for a particular person(say person_id=2222) and for a particular period(june 9,2008-june 15,2008)..
can anyone tell me the query or any pointers will be highly appreciated
Thanks

The Hours Type field needs to be configured as an Alternate Name Definition. This will associate a list of values for hours types to the corresponding elements.
Then you have to associate the hours type alternate name definition as a timekeeper layout item in the Preferences window.

OTL Hours Type not exploding..

Hi,
Can anyone suggest why one of my hours type not exploding. I have two different elements setup in two different earning policies.
Element One is defined in the first earning policy's explosion rule which when tested exploded fine. Element two is also defined in Policy One earning group but it isnt exploding within it!!
Element Two is then defined in the second earning policy explosion rule but it isnt exploding at all. This earning policy and elements are pretty much setup identical to each other so I'm confused as to why the first one is working and not the second one.
Any suggestion?
Regards
TL

It drills down to how you've setup the earnings policies.
There are some examples in the Note below -
Oracle Time and Labor (OTL) OTLR California Overtime Policy Setup and Examples [ID 1451080.1]
Try to compare yours with the above to see if all is fine.

OTL -Time Sheet Hour Type field detail required.

Hi all,
I'm working on a Report which gets time sheet data for an employee. My time sheet structure has project, Task,Type and Hour type. I have got all the column data as required for my report but i'm not able to find out where the hours type info (as mentioned above) is stored.
I do know that the LOV for the Hour Type column is from hxc_alias_values table. But i want to know the table /column where hour type info is stored when a person enters the time sheet.i.e., For an employee entered time sheet - project-task-type-hour type and number of hrs against it.
We tried a lot of options but were unable to find out. Any help on this will be very helpful.
Thanks,
Suresh

The value will be available in HXC_TIME_ATTRIBUTES with Attribute_Category = ELEMENT - <Element Type Id>. This cane be retrieved by joining HXC_TIME_BUILDING_BLOCKS > HXC_TIME_ATTRIBUTE_USAGES > HXC_TIME_ATTRIBUTE_USAGES.

Restrict Employee From Updating a Particular Hours Type

Hi..
We have the following scenario.
1. We have 3 types of Elements defined for OTL i.e. Regular Hours , Overtime Weekend and Overtime Weekday.
2. The Regular hours are integrated with the client's time Machine.
3. Each night the regular hours are updated for each employee.
4. Now as per the client, the employee can update/add Overtime Weekend and Overtime Weekday but should not be able to update the regulars hours (created through Interface).
can anyone kindly update us, how can we achieve this requirements (it may be a setup or fast formula).
Thanks
Regards

Dear User,
We don't have any preferences to update/Modify for any element.
If there is anything available can you please clarify. We are on version 12.06.

Showing multiple expenditure types in OTL Projects Timecard Layout

Does anyone know how to limit the expenditure types that show up in the standard OTL Projects Timecard Layout? I have two expenditure types for straight time classifications, Labor and Contingent Labor and I only want to show Labor for employee timecards. I can limit the expenditure type in the Projects-Purchasing Layout using Alternate Names, but that doesn't seem to work for the standard projects layout? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks for your assitance!

We were able to customize the list through the view for the expenditure types.

OTL Holiday Worked Hours

I am trying to configure a premium eligibility policy so that if an ee works on a holiday, they get time and a half for working that day (plus any holiday pay that they manually enter because they also get 8 hours of holiday pay). Therefore, an ee working a holiday would get a total of 2.5 times their rate of pay.
Under Element Time Information I have "Hol Hrs Wkd Prem" setup with an absence category of "Other Premium" (eff date 1/1/07).
Under Premium Eligibility Policy I'm not sure what my "base hours type" and "authorized premium" should be set at.
Thanks for your help.

base type would be regualr hour and premium would be the Holiday premium.

Questions on OTL Configuration

Hi,
I have couple of questions to all OTL gurus..
1. Can a custom LOV be defaulted with some value which can also be overwritten by the user action?
2.Can a package choice list be hidden and still be executed as it is a mandatory parameter for eg:Hours type in payroll layout?
Thanks & Regards,
Sameer.T

I think you are using a very old version of the config document!
The latest version (I think) is called "Configuring The Oracle Time and Labor Timecard User Interface White Paper" and is dated 25th March 2008.
I'm not a technical person, so I am not 100% sure on which qualifier attribute(s) you ight need, but have a look at the specification for the type of component you need to use (e.g. LOV) and see what each qualifier attribute does.
Hope that helps.

OTL Time Card issue in Self Service

Hi All,
I am working in OTL. I m new to this module. Currently i am facing the below issue.
In OTL, there is a validation of project and task when user enters time card.
Whenever user enters time cards against the hour type which is not of PTO (e.g. regular) etc, project number
and project task should be mandatory.
It is working fine in OTL Time Keeper, but not working in Self Service Time Card.
I am analyzing the issue but not getting the exact solution for the same.
Kindly reply me to resolve it.
Thanks in Advance

OTL Timecard issue

Hi,
We have to show 2 timecards to users. For Org A they want to show Projects Timecard and for Org B they want to show a timecard without any Project / Task / Expenditure (Only monday to friday days). So I created 2 preferences with 2 different layouts.
Only issue is for the Org B we chosen 'Oracle Internal Layout - Timecard Entry Page' as this layout has only 1 field as Hour Type.
Question is how is populate values in it (LOV) and can this field be hidden with some default value.
I am new to OTL so Thanks in advance.
Jay

The list of values for Hours types comes from the "Alternate Name" definition. Define an Alternate Name and include all the elements that you want to display and link this Alternate Name in the preferences. Make sure that element links are properly established, although the element is available in alternate name but if the element link does not exist, then it wont appear in the Hours Type.
Regarding hiding of Hours type, I don't think thats gonna work. OTL is a combination of building blocks (i.e. Hours information) and attributes (i.e. Hours type/project/task etc..), so you have to have both information in the timecard.

Transfer OTL Time via Selfservice Timecard to Elements in HR?

Hi,
We want to transfer OTL data via Selfservice TimeCard to Elements in HR for R12. I followed
all steps from the implementation guide and the problem is now that the LOV
for (Hours) Type in selfservice timecard is empty.
One of the problems is that we don't now which options to set in preferences
For example application set, we can choose payroll and/or Human Resource.
Which one do we need to choose on this set, we don't use Oracle Payroll in HR, but we have created
a payroll definition in HR.
Has anybody a checkup list of steps to follow to get this working
Thanks,
Kaan

Hi,
Could you be more specific. I still don't know which application set to choose?
I got now ''Time Store Application Set'' and preference value ='Human Resources and Payroll'

Kaan

OTL Self Serivce and Timekeeper

Hi,
In OTL we have options of entering time sheet through self service or timekeepr entry. In fast formula, is it possible to identify from which screen the timesheet has been submitted. Idea is to we want to enforce fast formula validation on save of timesheet only when they enter timesheet through self service time.
Thanks

Hi,
Check this thread.
Make an Hours Type Non Editable on Timecard
1. Create a Fast Formula
2. in the FF package logic check if you are getting values from this package - hxc_self_service_time_deposit.get_app_attributes
3. If you get values then it must be Self Service otherwise from PUI timekeeper form.
I am not sure if this works but give it a try.
