Otl time entry rule

how can i remove validation(time entry rules)?

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

OTL: Time Entry Rules

Hello ,
Iam working on a requirement, in OTL time card entry from the oracle self service page.
If Employees work on Holidays then they are allowed to enter work Hours .
Eg:
Mon, 25 dec
Regular: start 08:00
stop 12:00
hrs 04
Holiday: start 08:00
stop 17:00
Hrs 8
Iam getting the Overlapping Error as 'This time overlaps another entry.' when trying to save the timecard.
Is there any way, I can override this Error.
Can anyone Please help on this ?
thanks,
Babu

Ramesh,
OTL doesn't allow the over lapping entries, its one of the basic validations. But at the same time you can define OTL rules to configure this requirement which will automatically generate the holiday premium hours as per your requirement. There are many scenarios which you can configure to define the calculation of premium hours worked on holidays.

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

INPUTS ARE resource_id (number)
, submission_date (text)these inputs are passed in PLSQL Code and some of them in formula context
2. While we define a new context for a time entry rule. How is the data that we enter in the time entry rule passed to the fast formula?See the time Rule entry screen and you will find the parameters window there.

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.

Urgent:Time Entry Rule Creating Issue on Hitting Back Button

Hello,
We have created a Time Entry Rule to see if one of the Field either a Department or Project on the TimeCard is entered. The validation works fine for the first time when hitting the continue button.
However on hitting the back button the validation fires again although department is there. Here is the snippet of the code.
Can somebody please tell me what is the additional check that i need to perform so as to ensure that it doesnt fir again on hitting the back button.
i NUMBER := 0;
j NUMBER := 0;

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.)

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

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.

OTL Time Cards to PA Integration. - All Time cards are imported into One OU

Hi,
At our site, we have implemented OTL to support PA. (No Payroll/HRMS).
We have created multiple selfservice Time Resp for each Operating Units. The MO Operating Unit for the responsibility is set to corresponding OU for each responsibility.
The issue is that,
When the Time cards are approved and the PRC: Transaction Import is ran for each operating unit (again difft responsibility for each OU), it is not importing the time cards into the respective OU in PA. Rather When we run the PRC: Transaction Import in US operating unit, all the Timecards are imported in the US OU.
We found, For all the OTL time cards, the ATTRIBUTE1 for the "SECURITY" Attribute category is 84 (which is US OU) in hxc_time_attributes table.
which configruation controls this ? Why the MO: Operating Unit is not used to populate the value or is there any other profile which needs to be set to get the right OU?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chidambaram

Please check and confirm whether you have the profile 'HR:Business Group' set to corresponding BGs for the respective time entry responsibilities.

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
Bilal

Hi Bilal,
I tried it earlier, but was not successful.
Only thing you can do is something mentioned in the forums below -
Start/End times in Custom Formula - OTL
Auto populate system time for start/end times in OTL Time card

OTL Time Upload Requirement

Hi there,
We have a requirement where we need to capture two additional pieces of information on the timecard which are mapped to input values sequence 12 and 13 on the element.
We also have a custom requirement for sites with no application access to allow them to provide CSVs containing multiple employees time which we wish to upload. The original plan was to use the timestore_deposit_api to perform the upload of the times into OTL. Does anyone know if this or another API will allow us to upload time entries which include these additional input values.
Has anyone done such a customization?
Any advice on this would be very much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Kev

Kev,
Each such input value will be a extra attribute. So just use hxc_timestore_deposit. create_attribute api for those extra attributes and attach to each detail building block.

Adding Display Only Assignment info on OTL timekeeper Entry form.

Hi
My company is using OTL timekeeper Entry PUI form to record the attendance of employees. Our users want to have Employee's Organization from primary assignment to be automatically populated in a static field so that they can check if employee is in right organization or not at the time of data entry.
I don't want to add LOV using alternate names in the form because it requires additional button clicks for the users.
Can anyone help how we can add static field (Just like employee name appear after we add employee id) for Organization name in PUI Timekeeper Entry form?
Regards
Syed Salman

Can someone help on this?
I am just looking for an example (may be with a 2 column matrix), not somebody to write full code as per my requirements for me.
