OTL Offline Time Entry

Hi there,
I have a requirement where we need to allow some administrators to enter hours and costing information for a number of employees into a spreadsheet and then for these to be uploaded into OTL. Is there any seeded functionality which will allow this? Such as disconnected entry for a number of employees via one spreadsheet or does this need to be performed via a customization?
If anyone has done this then any advice would be very greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Kev

Also make sure that preference "Disconnected Entry (Self Service disconnected entry option for worker)" is set to import/export for Import Timecard button to be enabled on Timecard list page. This same preference will enable export of Timecard on the templates page.

Time Entry by Percentage in OTL

We have a requirement to enter time in OTL by percentage of time worked rather than by exact hours. This means rather than entering 20 hours of project1 and 20 hours on project2 (for a work-week of 40 hours), users would like to enter 50% on project1 and 50% on project2.
Is there a functionality in OTL like this? We are on 11.5.9 of E-business suite.
Thanks,
Ketul.

This may require a more complex answer. But, initially, here are my ideas on simple solutions.
OTL is designed to record HOURS. But, as long as all your downstream processes can cope with it, all you really need to do is capture a NUMBER. So a % figure could be used.
You will need to have some Time Entry Rules to ensure that a total figure of not more than 100% is recorded per day.
If you are using Payroll, then at some stage the amount recorded needs to be converted to hours for payment. If you do not want to use the % figure for payments, then record the elements as 'Information'.
Or, you could keep the HOURS as hours and add a new timecard component for the % figure. You would then have to map this using MAPPING COMPONENTS and MAPPINGS to a CONTEXT in the OTL_INFORMATION_TYPES DFF.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Tim

While doing puchout user is getting Overlapping time message in OTL Time entry responsibility

while doing puchout user is getting Overlapping time message in OTL Time entry responsibility

XmlBeans, at least the version I'm working with now, doesn't support version 3 of the Document Object Model (DOM). I don't know what operations were introduced in DOM 3, but I guess you're trying to use one of them. What worked for me is to copy the Document into a DocumentBuilder that does support DOM 3, such as the JDK's own builder, and work with the copy. This should be all right if the document is not too large. The following URL has the details:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-100
(Look for the post dated 22/Aug/08, which as I write this is the very last post.)

OTL Custom Formula not visible in Time Entry Rule window

Hi Friends,
I have created a custom Fast Formula of type 'OTL Time Entry Rules'. Created a context with segments for the OTL Formulas Flex Field with formula name same as of the context. But the formula is not visible in the in the time entry rule window.
Can any one please suggest what is the reason for this?
Many many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Check whether you have given the description for your custom Fast formula while defining the FF in the Write Formula screen.
Coz, In the Time Entry rules window you will see the description of the fast formula .
Though the description iss not a mandatory field while defining the FF in the Write Formula screen the time entry rule will take only the description of the FF instead of the FF Name.
Get beack to me if you need further info.
Thanks,
Anuradha

Change Color of OTL Time Entry Warning Messages

We are using time entry rules in OTL and in some cases have warnings instead of errors. The warning message shows up in blue so it is barely visible on the timecard. Is there an easy way to change the color of the warning message?
Thanks in advance.

These colors are based on standard BLAF standards used in oracle apps. You will have to use CLAF Customizing Look-and-Feel. Check OAF personalization guide.

OTL Week End time Entry

Hi
In the Time card if the employee enters the time on saturday or sunday is it possible to provide a waring message
I am not sure about the time entry rules if any one could provide some metalink notes or some document that would help me a lot
Thanks for your time
Regards
Ramesh Kumar S

Angelica,
Instead of forcing the user not to make an entry we are allowing a Weekly Off element, so that even those entries can be captured for future purpose eg: Claim of allowance for working on a week off day. Hence we are not forcing the user to not enter any time.If you consider the issue here, we are just concerned to show a warning on weekend hours entry. There is no requirement of capturing some different element or attribute.
I need a clarification, are you talking about the TimeCard web page, then we have tried personlization on it for display purpose, but hiding columns and changing titles..etcLet me know if you are not using the web based Time card and instead using the forms based card.
I'm talking about the web based Timecard only. On web based timecard, even to hide a column, you need to make changes to timecard layout LDT file and upload to DB using FNDLOAD. Changing a column header will require changes in the AK attributes. Nothing can be personalized inside the Timecard matrix.

The time entry rules for your user are defined by the preferences.
These can be attached at a number of different levels.

Oracle Time and Labor time entry

Hi,
In Oracle Time and Labor on-line time entry (Timecard) screen I need to record end user's system's time as time-in and time-out i.e. user should not be able to modify the timing details.
Can OTL possibly meet above requirement. An urgent response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Bilal,
I tried it earlier, but was not successful.
Only thing you can do is something mentioned in the forums below -

Auto populate system time for start/end times in OTL Time card

OTL Start Time Capture

Hi there,
We have a requirement where we need to capture an employees start time and number of hours through both self service time entry and also the timekeeper form note we DO NOT wish to capture the end time. The standard behavious is to accept either start and stop time or number of hours. We however do not want to capture stop time and we need to capture the start time to ensure we can derive the order in which the hours were worked within the day. We are alrady doing a lot of customization to the self service timecard hence further custom is an option. Also how do we ensure start time and number of hours can be captured in timekeeper.
The plan is to store the start time against an input value on the element via a custom process.
As a matter of interest has anyone had a requirement where they need to derive the order in which hours were worked and did you find any other solution other than capturing start time.
Your help on this would be very much appreciated
Kev

Time Entry ADI Uploads

I have been searching for detailed information on how to use ADI uploads to mass load time entries for testing purposes and have not found anything useful.
We use the timekeeper screen to manage time and I need a way to mass upload test entries. Does anyone have a good document that describes this or could you provide me the steps on how to go about executing this?
Thanks!

you would have to call Deposit APIS to mass upload time.
