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.

  • 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?

  • Required Parallel Approval from OTL Timekeeper Entry Form

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to perform parallel approval from OTL timekeeper entry form? it is using the following workflow OTL Seeded Approval Workflow HXCSAW(i think) if it is using this workflow can we change this workflow or need to write a new workflow for above mentioned requirement.
    Please share you experiences , its urgent
    Regards,
    Ssali

    Hi,
    HXCSAW is a custom workflow which do nothing accept approving and that can be change as per customer requirement. This child workflow called by parent workflow process HXCEMP. If u going to change the HXCSAW then u also need to change the seeded package associated with this workflow to embed your logic.
    We have done it through SSHR timesheet entry page, no idea if OTL timekeeper entry form carries approval or not.
    Whts the nature of ur parallel approval ? and how u can able to manage if via workflow ?

    Regards,

    Follow the OTL api guide and check your code. If your code is proper, timecard should get updated properly.

  • OTL Timekeeper Problem

    Hi there,
    I am trying to allow OTL supertime keeper entry of hours types and have set up the following preferences for the super timekeeper.
    Timekeeper Misc Setup - N,Y,Y
    Timekeeper Layout Attributes - TK projects, TK Tasks, OTL Elements (*)
    Timecard alternate names - OTL elements(* This is a alternate names for all elements available through OTL.)
    as well as all the other preferences which I have set up for the timecard end users (which work fine.)
    When I select the timekeeper responsibility and search for an employee. I get a timecard which allows me to enter hours but I am unable to enter any associated hours types.
    Any help on this would be very much appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    Kev

    Kev,
    You need to have an Alternate name set which should contain all the possible elements which are assigned to user of a particular TK group. Now this alternate name should be added in the "Timecard layout Attributes" preference which is attached to the Timekeeper himself. Just to test you can test with a TK group having only one user and both user, TK having the same set of alternate name.

  • 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.

  • Adding comment in the OTL Timecard ( in both timekeeper entry & Self-Service)

    Hi all,
    I need to add a new comment field in the timecard (both the timekeeper entry page & the Timecard Self-Service page).
    I am going through the white paper "Configuring The Oracle Time and Labor Timecard User Interface" currently.
    what i understand is modifying the LDT file will allow me to add the desired comment in the TimeCard Self Service page, while I need it to be exist in the Timekeeper Entry page also.
    i should be able to enter the employee timecard with my comment in the new comment field using the timekeeper entry page and submit it for approval. The approver should be able to review and see my comment in the employee timecard self service page.
    what are the required steps to have the new comment field exist in both layouts?
    also, is it possible to add the comment not as a new column, can we add the field just beside the seeded comment in the Timekeeper Entry down beside the Select All/Deselect All button?
    Note: I am using the Payroll TimeCard Layout.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Gaurav,
    Sure.
    We would like to take the employee time cards being entered into the (OTL Self Service Time Entry) and once approved, have them automatically populate the OTL Timekeeper by employee. These employees are already defined in various Timekeeper groups. Once the supervisor opens up that group in Timekeeper they will be able to export those employee time records to an excel spreadsheet for further data manipulation. That's our end goal.
    The question I have is, how does the upload from (OTL Self Service Time Entry to OTL Timekeeper) happen?
    Does it happen once the employee time card has been approved?
    or
    Do you have to launch some type of concurrent job, etc?
    I just can't find that process answer and what if anything that needs to be done.
    Again, thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  • 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.

  • 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..

  • 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.

  • OTL Self Service Time Card to OTL Timekeeper

    Hi All,
    I'm new to the Oracle HRMS module and have a question. Can you update OTL Timekeeper with time cards from OTL Self Service? I did read a very brief, one or two line sentence in one of the implementation manuals that said you could. However, at this point, I have researched in vein and still cannot find any information as to how or what should be done.
    Any help is greatly appreciated,
    Thanks,

  • Multiple Assignments in Timekeeper entry form

    Team,
    We are trying to setup multiple assignments for Timekeeper.
    We followed the whitepaper out on Metalink and got most of the stuff working.
    Now, we are showing a list of jobs for each employee to choose from whether it is primary job or secondary job.
    The issue that we are getting into, how do we filter the list just for the employee that we are entering timecard for.
    This is doable in Self service using right conditions but not clear on how to do this in timekeeper.
    Has anyone done this before?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Arul

    I presume you have a specific column in TK for the job and that you have linked this through the TK layout preference.
    Have you tried making the LOV behind this column dependent on the employee id of the row you are querying? Not sure if it's possible, but worth a try.
    Otherwise, I would suggest that you create a Time Entry Rule which is linked to a TER Group just for the TK. The TER could then do the validation to make sure you don't select an invalid value for the employee. It's a bit late in the process, but would prevent errors.
    This TER has been used on my projects to ensure that the hours type selected is valid for the employee. This is a simialr scenario.

  • OTL Timekeeper Form Custom Field map to specific Element Input Value

    Hello Everyone,
    I have the below requirement.
    1. Create a custom field in OTL Timekeeper Form. This field is based on the Element Selected on the timecard.
    2. Once the Timecard is transferred to Payroll, the custom field should go to a specific input value of that element.
    I know how to perform Step 1 above. But i am unable to find out how i can map the value in custom field to a specific Input value of the element.
    Any inputs are appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jay

    Any tips people?
    Can this be achieved?
    This is what i have done so far.
    1. Created a new Value set for the custom field.
    2. Created an alternate mapping to map the value set value to InputValue13.
    3. Created the alternate name.
    4. Added the alternate name to 'OTL Alternate Names' DFF.
    5. Added the Alternate name to the 'Preferences'.
    Testing:
    1. Created a Timecard populating the custom field.
    2. Timecard submitted and approved successfully.
    3. I verified that the custom field value goes into attribute13 of hxc_time_attributes where the attribute category is the corresponding element (should it be against the attribute category: Dummy Element Context? If Yes, then how to do it?).
    4. Then i ran the program 'Transfer Time from OTL to BEE'. This transferred the values into hxt_timecards_f, hxt_sum_hours_worked_f, hxt_det_hours_worked_f. But nowhere in these tables do i see the custom value.
    Did i miss any step? I did not define anything in the 'Define Mapping Components' of Deposit/Retrieval Process because InputValue13 is already part of it unter type 'Dummy Element Context'.
    5. Since it is not in hxt tables, i did not find it in pay_batch tables too.
    Any guidance is appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jay
