OTL Timecard Customization !!!

Hi All,
I'm trying Customization to OTL Timecard i.e add two extra columns Project Name and Task Name.
I got this ldt file (hxczzhxclayt0019.ldt) to customize. I did my changes to add these fields. I was successful in seeing these columns.
But the problem is I don’t know if the LOV is actually working or not. When I click on the Torch or LOV icon, it does open and I’m able to select the project name. But when I’m done with selection of the project name it does not reflect on the Project Name column of the Table Matrix, it instead shows the Project Id in the Project Column of the Table Matrix. And how will I make the Project Id and Project Name dependent.
Note:1) ProjectLOVVO was already there with project name. so i dint customize it.
2) And i have no idea how QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE6 field works.
3) Could any body please explain me or direct me where i can get the definitions of the fields QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE (1 to 30)
Here is the code changes I have made in the ldt file.
##########Text Field for Project Name############

Please suggest me a solutions, this is an urgent issue i need to resolve !!!
Thanks and in advance.

Client Does not want it to be a earning element and do not want to catch Punch in and Punch out times for Unpaid breaks.
User should enter only minutes and that should be deducted from Regular Hours before explosion.

OTL Timecard Customization - Add new Field for Unpaid Breaks

Hello Guru's,
I took the Payroll Layout for the client and implemented OTLR for Overtime caluculation.
Everything is working fine.
Client is looking to Add a field called "Unpaid Breaks" on the timecard which takes only minutes as input and deduct the Regular Hours element
before Timecard Explosion.
It is weekly timecard and the new field "Unpaid Breaks" should be displayed for all the days next to the time punches.
Please advice on how to implement the requirement.
I am looking to open the seeded layout and try to modify.
But please suggest ideas and approach.
Thanks

OTL Timecard Rejection/Resubmission

Hi All,
I am working on OTL Timecard Approval Workflow. I have a requirement as mentioned. Please let me know if it is feasible or not.
Approval Style used is Project Manager.
Hence when timecard is submitted, it is split into the number of projects in the timecard and sent to project manager's approval.
I have a second level of approval also which I have achieved through workflow customization.
The main scenario is as below.
An employee submits a timecard with 2 different projects.
Project manager of first project approves and is routed to next level of approval.
Project Manager of second project rejects the timecard.
Requirement
In that case, employee has to resubmit the timecard after making necessary changes and should be routed only to the person who rejected the timecard.
But, in general, when a timecard is submitted again, the previous workflow is cancelled and whole new workflow is triggered, which will send notifications to all.
Is there way to achieve this?
Waiting for your inputs.
Thanks,
Anand

HXCEMP workflow is not responsible for displaying the timecard information in the notification. It just routes to the relevant approver,
Did you configure the Notification layout as well (along with Time entry layout)? You need to have the similar changes to Notification layout.

Where clause for TaskLOVVO on OTL Timecard

Hi,
Following is the customization on our OTL timecard layout(Projects and Payroll Layout):
->Extended TaskLOVVO and based on a value selected in TaskLOV, i am defaulting Hours type.
The dynamic where clause for the TaskLOVO is taken care of by the below QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTES(Same as seeded layout)
QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE14 = "HxcCuiTaskProjectId|PROJECT|Y#HxcCuiTaskProjectNumber|PROJECT-DISPLAY|Y"
QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE15 = "project_id = ::HxcCuiTaskProjectId#upper(project_number) = upper(::HxcCuiTaskProjectNumber)"
But in some scenarios the dynamic layout is not getting appended to TaskLOVO and the query behind the TaskLOV is pulling too many records.
This issue is happening on Fridays when around 15000 employees submit the timecards, as Friday is our deadline for Timecard submission.
I have tried different scenarios to replicate this issue in test intances but I am not able to replicate it.
Please suggest what could be the issue and why is the whereclause is not getting appended in some scenarios.
Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
The whoole LDT file is more than 30000 characters, which is not allowed in the post, so I have included only the lines which have customization.
FYI: This is a Projects and Payroll layout.

In the above query GETALIASID is a custom function that returns a value.

OTL Timecard LOV Sort Order

Hello,
We have an LOV field on our OTL timecard called Rate Up. It is a custom timecard created by someone who is long gone. We would like it sorted in a particular order. We identified a database view that is likely the source of the data, but adding an ORDER BY in the view did not work.
This is probably really simple when one knows how. How can we put a sort order on this LOV?
Thank you,

Both of these suggestions are really close. I thank Avinash and Giuseppe for their advice.
I found a validation set named XXEP_OTL_RATEUP_CODE_TK, but it is already sorted. We use this validation set on the Oracle Forms style OTL Timekeeper screens, but not on the web self service screens, where our sort problem exists.
I enabled diagnostics without any useful information, but a trace gave me the following sql statement which uses hxc_cui_custom4_v. I added an order by into the view, cleared cache, logged off and on, tried a different PC with a different user, but no luck sorting. So where is this select specified, so I can add an order by?
Thank you,

Creating fields as LOV (using alternate names) on OTL timecards

Hi,
I would really appreciate if someone can help me understand the process of being able to add fields on OTL timecard as LOV fields using alternate names. These are COST segments which I need to add on OTL timecard. The part which is most confusing to me is modifying the .ldt to get these fields working.
Appreciate if anyone can point me to related documents.
Thanks,
Maddy

Hi Maddy
Ramsys has pointed you towards a very useful document, the timecard configuration guide. But, the guide is very complicated and it shows you what to do, but doesn't really explain 'why' you have to do it.
I run training courses on OTL, and this is a complex area to understand. It is possible to display almost anything on the timecard if you put your mind to it! Your example fo the cost centre is quite straightforward. Youi can create a value set to display the cost codes you want. A suitable one might already exist. You then need to have a view object (VO) to use this on the timecard. OTL provides 10 dummy VOs which you can use. The guide explains how to do this. The VO links your value set to the timecard. This step accounts for displaying the data on the timecard.
You also need to have somewhere to store the values selected by the user. To do this you need to define a contect in the OTL_INFORMATION_TYPES DFF to store the data. You will also need to have a mapping component to link the data on the screen to the OTL_INFORMATION_TYPES context. Usually, you can use an existing mapping component.
Good luck!
Regards
Tim

Package Choicelist OTL timecard

I see that you still have the same layout name used i.e. "Projects Alternate Timecard Layout". Try uploading your modified layout with a different name and attach that to the user. Bounce apache once and test.

OTL Timecard

Hi,
I need to add a display only field on the OTL Timecard. It should show the 'display_value' column from Custom2VO. The values I see in the ldt file for referencing Custom2VO are choice_list and lov - are there other options?
Thanks!

Add following line in component qualifier region of the ldt
QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE30 = "Y"
This attribute says read only flag Yes

Accrual Balance in OTL Timecard oaf page

Hi Guy's
Can any one help me find out from where or which table the accrual balance's of an employee are populating in OTL timecard .
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The accrual balances for each employee or not stores anywhere unless you are using payroll balances in your plan to store the balances. In OTL the values are dynamically generated calling your arrual formula whenever you open the page.
Thanks.

OTL Timecard Notification Customization

Hi,
Iam working on Timecard Notification form i.e.,
Navigation: Workflow User Web Applications -> Notifications (under Self Service Workflow)
for adding one additional field 'project name' beside the 'Project' field which contains project number in notification page. So, for that I got some metalink notes to modifiy the relevant 'ldt' file i.e. 'hxczzhxclayt0052.ldt'. By modifying the ldt file, I got the additional field but with no values of 'projct name' in it.
I tried the following approaches:
->to get the project name in the newly created field by changing the attribute values like .... passing attribute1,2...etc to 'QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE27'......but it didn't work.
->Created one dff under 'OTL Transaction Types' title and 'Projects' context and assigned it to attribute10....the passed that attribute10 to 'QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE27'...but of no use..
So, help in this regard would be appreciated
Thanks

Below are the steps I followed to create the (mapping) data source for getting values in the new column:-
1.Created 'PROJECTNAME' as context then there I gave 'Project Id' as Name of segment and column as ATTRIBUT1.
2. Assigned a value set to above context by creating view:
create or replace view HXC_CUI_CUSTOM1_V as
select project_NAME display_value,
project_id value from
HXC_BASE_PA_ONLINE_PROJECTS_V.
3. From OTL Application Developer responsibility, ran ‘Generate Flexfield and Mapping Information’ Process with the parameters-
Delete Definitions : No,
Effective Date : Current Date
4.Created a mapping component with name and field name as 'PA Project1', type and category as 'PROJECTNAME'
5. Added mapping component to Deposit Process.
6. Then created Custom1VO where HXC_CUI_CUSTOM1_V is the view as stated above.
7. Uploaded the modified ldt file, but still the values are not getting populated in the column.
I guess...you can help me in this regard.

OTL Template customization - need timecard start date in projects LOV query

Hello Folks,
Can anyone help me with the below requirement?
We need to restrict the projects LOV on the seeded projects timecard so that a resource can only select the project he/she is currently assigned to. We will assign the resource as key member with start and end date. I could change the the view to restrict the projects LOV.
The problem is customer wants a date check. At a certain date, the page should be display only the project he is assigned to. On the projects view, I have used fnd_global.employee_id to get the resource details. How do we access the current timecard start or end date in the view?
Thank you.

SELECT fnd_profile.value('OTL_TK_START_DATE') FROM DUAL

OTL : Timecard Notification Layout

We use the Timekeeper (Core Apps) form to enter Timecard.
We have added a new column - Award to this form.
Everything is working fine.
We have set the Notification Layout as 'Project and Payroll layout'.
The notification that goes to Approver has the Project and Task details. But the Award is missing which is understandable since i have to customize the layout to add this.
I have the steps to add an LOV to the time card. But i have to display the Award that was selected by the user while submitting the timecard. How would my notification get the award id dynamically?

You will have to configure the LDT file for the approval notification to include displaying your custom field.
Presumably, in the template/data entry screen you have mapped this field to a context/segment in the OTL Information Types Flexfield. Use this mapping component to retrieve the data from the timestore and display in your notification layout.
If, for exmaple, you stored the new field in context=ABC, Attbriute=Segment7, then refer to this context/segment as the source of the data in the notification layout.
Usually, when you configure a new field, you also need to include it in the review, confirmation and notification layouts.

OTL- Timecard: How can associate Project with Time

Hello gurus,
I have an OTL requirement where users are required to enter no more than 8 hours of sick time a week.
I have an idea on how to accomplish this but I am not sure how to count the hours when Project = Sick.
Can somebody give me an idea how to accomplish this? This is what I have so far:
FUNCTION XXJIBE_SICK_HRS(p_resource_id NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
l_timecard_info hxc_self_service_time_deposit.timecard_info;
l_tbb_array HXC_BLOCK_TABLE_TYPE;
l_attributes_info hxc_self_service_time_deposit.building_block_attribute_info;
l_attr_array HXC_ATTRIBUTE_TABLE_TYPE;
BEGIN
l_timecard_info := hxc_self_service_time_deposit.get_building_blocks;
l_tbb_array := hxc_deposit_wrapper_utilities.blocks_to_array(p_blocks => l_timecard_info);
l_attributes_info := hxc_self_service_time_deposit.get_block_attributes;
l_attr_array := hxc_deposit_wrapper_utilities.attributes_to_array (p_attributes => l_attributes_info);
IF l_tbb_array.FIRST IS NOT NULL THEN
FOR i IN l_tbb_array.FIRST .. l_tbb_array.LAST
LOOP
IF (l_tbb_array(i).MEASURE > 0 and l_tbb_array(i).SCOPE = 'DETAIL') THEN
IF l_attr_array.FIRST IS NOT NULL THEN
FOR i IN l_attr_array.FIRST .. l_attr_array.LAST
LOOP
IF (l_attr_array(i).attribute_category = 'PROJECTS'
and l_attr_array(i).attribute1 = 4015 ---project_id for "Non-Work Time US"
and l_attr_array(i).attribute2 = 5121 ---task_id for "Sick"
) THEN
v_sick_hours := nvl(l_tbb_array(i).MEASURE,0) + v_sick_hours;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END IF;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END IF;
IF (v_sick_hours > 8) THEN
v_out := Per our policy you are limited to 8 hours of sick time in a week.
Please adjust your sick time hours on this timecard.';
else
v_out := 'Pass';
END IF;
end;
The code above is not correct because it is failing when I submit 5 hours for the week.

I got the solution. Here is the code I modified:
IF l_tbb_array.FIRST IS NOT NULL THEN
FOR i IN l_tbb_array.FIRST .. l_tbb_array.LAST
LOOP
IF (l_tbb_array(i).MEASURE > 0 and l_tbb_array(i).SCOPE = 'DETAIL') THEN
v_tbbid := l_tbb_array(i).time_building_block_id;
v_measure := nvl(l_tbb_array(i).MEASURE,0);
IF l_attr_array.FIRST IS NOT NULL THEN
FOR i IN l_attr_array.FIRST .. l_attr_array.LAST
LOOP
IF (l_attr_array(i).attribute_category = 'PROJECTS'
and l_attr_array(i).attribute1 = 4015 --project_id for "Non-Work Time US"
and l_attr_array(i).attribute2 = 5121 --task_id for "Sick"
and l_attr_array(i).building_block_id = v_tbbid) THEN
v_sick_hours := v_measure + v_sick_hours;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END IF;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END IF;

OTL Timecard Approval Notification Email

Hello,
When an employee submits a timecard, the supervisor receives an e-mail to approve the timecard. Currently this email contains the timecard entries (and the details for each day of the time period), action history and the links to approve/reject/request information. We also have an attachment that will connect the user back to the notification page.
We would like to modify this email content as follows:
1. Display only the timecard entries without the daily details.
2. Remove the links to approve/reject/request information.
For 2, I have tried to follow the instructions in Doc ID 302214.1, but unable to do the following steps:
h. Define the attribute #WFM_OPEN_MAIL (Template for email with response).
i. Set its Default value to WFMAIL:OPEN_MAIL_OUTLOOK
Please provide me the directions to complete the above customizations.
Thanks,
- Asha

Unfortunately I do not have an environment to test this, is this related to the #HIDE_MOREINFO mentioned in the Doc ID 302214.1 ? Alternatively I think you could just make a copy of the system template, modify the template as needed and override the appropriate message template attribute with the new custom template?
