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.

How to Customize OTL Time sheet

Hi,
Can anybody suggest how to customize the OTL Timesheet.
We need to add extra LOV field in the timesheet.
Krishna

Hi,
U can add lov for standard page in various methods ,but the best approach is customization.
---In Time sheet page create one stacklayoutRN via personalization.
---Then come to jdev right clik on jpr create new region in that region create lovitem.
---In lov.server create lov region,lovvo,lovam all the componenets in custom package.
---set properties for Lov rn and lov item.
---Move these components to server and run import command for lovregion.
---Extend stacklayoutRN with custom region.
set propery Extend: custom region eg:xxx.oracle.apps.po.msg.webui.customRN
---Apply
u can achive this by co extension also.

Hi:
I need to transfer CATS data to FICO. I found out about transaction CAT7.
At the moment, I have 2 issues:
1) My CATSDB data have status "30". However, there is no corresponding entries in CATSCO. Could you tell me what I need to do to ensure that CATSCO has values?
2) My FICO system is running on 4.6C whereas my HR system is running on ECC6.0. Can CAT7 still works?
I appreciate your response.
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 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.

Activity type in time sheet

Hi all,
In PS we donu2019t capture any cost. In such case, While entering timesheet, the system through an error message, to enter sender Activity type and it is not allowing to enter timesheet.
Now, what should be done to skip entering activity type and enter timesheet without entering activity type?
I guess it is controlled through work center, by not maintaining costing tab, but the system does not allow to save the work center without entering the cost center under costing tab.
Please suggest, in entering time sheet without activity type
Thanks,
Chandru

Hi,
Go to --> SPRO --> Cross Application Components --> Time Sheet --> Settings for all User Interfaces --> Time Recording --> Choose Fields -->Data Entry section --> Activity types
Double click and in reference to data entry profiles we can restrict the entry for the activity type whether it is required / Display / Hide / Input.
Check and confirm whether the problem is solved

Hi,
To avoid this error in MIRO, under "Basic Data" Tab, enter some text in "Text" field.
OR to make Text as optional, first get the Field status group for GL 24505000 in FS00, under "Create/bank/interest" Tab.
Then go to FBKP, here click on last option "Field status group" and enter Field status variant assigned to your Company Code and PRess Enter.
Here Double click on the Field status group and then double click on "General Data" and make "Text" field as optional.

Question fractions of an hour formulas on Time Sheets

I am trying to build a time sheet. Sometimes the time entered needs to be less than one hour. But when it then multiplies by the hourly rate, I get a problem.
The formula calculates the "hours" by subtracting the start time from the end time in the fields where I enter them. If those total less than one hour, it either changes the duration to "minutes" or if I force it to hold the duration at hours, it always rounds up to one hour. As an example, a reported task that runs from 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. is entered, it usually posts a result of 30 minutes. But when it then goes to multiply the hourly rate, it multiplies by 30 (hours) rather than by 30 (minutes) or .5 (hours). How can I get it to post .5 hours so the math is right on the extended total?

Assume cell a1 is formatted as date and time with only time shown. Enter data in form of h:m in that cell. Convert to fraction of hour that can be multiplied by hourly rate with formula as follows: =timevalue(a1)*24. Add in hourly rate as follows: =timevalue(a1)24[rate value].

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..

Help creating time worked field on time sheet.

I am new to acrobat. I am creating a time sheet submittable form. I have start time fields and end time fields and now i need a field that calculates total time worked in hours. I could do this using military time except that in the calculations tab in field properties there is no subtraction calculaton option, just addition. Is there anyway to acomplish this by writing a script? I know nothing abiut writing scripts, PLEASE HELP.

You need to use JavaScript to write the custom JavaScript Code. You can convert the time string to a JS data object and do the math at milliseconds.
You can split the time string into hours and minutes, convert the hours to minutes and add to the minutes, do the math in minutes and finally convert the minutes back into hours and minutes.
Since you will be repeating the math for each day, I would look at creating a function to convert the time string cell to minutes for the computation.
There can be problems with leading zeros and no separator symbols since the Number format strips the leading zeros from number character strings.
function Time2Min(cTime){
var min = 0
var hr = 0
cTime = cTime.toLowerCase();
// civilian time
if (/(\d{0,2})[:](\d{2})[ ]?([ap])/.test(cTime)) {
   hr = Number(RegExp.$1);
   if (RegExp.$3 == "p") {
      hr += 12;
   min = (60 * hr) + Number(RegExp.$2);
   } // end civilian time
// 24 hour time
if (/(\d{0,2})[:](\d{2})/.test(cTime)) {
   min = (60 * Number(RegExp.$1)) + Number(RegExp.$2);
   } // end 24hour time
// military time
if (/(\d{0,2})(\d{2})/.test(cTime)) {
   min = (60 * Number(RegExp.$1)) + Number(RegExp.$2);
   } // end military time
return min;
} // end function
function Min2HH:MM (nMinutes) {
return util.printf("%,1 01.0f" + ":" + "%,1 02.0f", Math.floor(nMinutes / 60), Math.floor(nMinutes % 60));
var elapsed = 0;
var sEnd = "1600"; // change for field value as string
var sStart = "0900" // change for field value as string
// add loop to go through fields:
if (sEnd != "" & sStart !="") {
elapsed += (Time2Min(sEnd) - Time2Min(sStart)) ;
// end of loop
// format the output
Min2HH:MM(elapsed);

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.
Cheers,

How do store a time type field in a database table?

We added a UDF of time type. SQL Server says its a small integer. After I pull the time off a date, I convert it to an integer. For example, I convert 6:00 AM to 600. When I try to store 600 in the field, I get a type mismatch exception. What am I doing wrong?

Adele,
Thanks a bunch!
Your code was syntactically incorrect but it moved me in the right direction. Here is the code I ended up with:
DateString = DateIn.ToString("yyyyMMdd HHmm")
Time = Date.ParseExact(DateString, "yyyyMMdd HHmm", system.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo)
Then update the Time field with the Time variable.
This does the trick. It looks like it is only necessary to save a date data type in a time type field and only the time piece of it is saved.
Thanks again,
Mike
