Is there a way to create Timecard Templates from backend?

Question

Hello Folks
Is there a way to create Timecard Templates from backend? I tried to create one with the following steps, but did not work. Throws a HXC_HXT_DEP_VAL_ORAERR
The Oracle error is: &ERROR
1. Create TIMECARD_TEMPLATE scope BB using hxc_timestore_deposit.create_bb
2. Create Template_Name Attribute on the above BB
3. Create DAY BB
4. Create DETAIL BB for DAY BB
5. Create Attribute BB for Hours Worked element on the DETAIL BB above
6. Call hxc_timestore_deposit.execute_deposit_process(p_validate => FALSE
,p_app_blocks => l_tbl_timecard_info
,p_app_attributes => l_tbl_attributes_info
,p_messages => l_tbl_messages
,p_mode => 'SAVE'
,p_deposit_process => l_deposit_process
--p_retrieval_process   => 'BEE Retrieval Process'
, p_template => hxc_timecard.c_yes
,p_timecard_id => l_new_timecard_id
,p_timecard_ovn => l_new_timecard_ovn
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
