Book hours per person to record the hours required for an employee to perform work.
Follow these steps to book hours per person.
Open the Booked hours per person form (WDBOOK).
Query for the employee for which to book hours.
Period—Enter a different starting date and ending date as necessary. Use a five day work period rather than a 24-hour period.
OcTp—Click to select the type of hours worked (hourly rate, overtime rate, corrective booking, etc.).
Corrections—Select to mark this booking as a correction.
Work order—Click to select the work order performed by the employee.
Activity—Click to select the work order activity performed by the employee.
Date—Enter the date the hours were worked.
Choose one of the following options:
Book hours based on start/end times—Enter the starting and ending times for Start time and End time.
Book hours based on hours worked—Enter the total number of hours worked that day for Hours req.
|
If you enter the start and end times when booking activities and later that day enter another booking, you must re-enter the start and end times. To correct a booking, do not alter a previous record. Instead, enter a new booking and mark the entry as a correction. Enter the correct number of hours, rather than the start and end times. Negative values are permitted. |
Trade—Click to select the trade of the employee. Datastream 7i automatically populates Trade with the trade specified for the employee on the Record view page of the Employees tab (WNPERS). You can modify Trade as necessary.
Rate—Modify the hourly rate of the employee as necessary.
|
You can modify the Rate when the record is inserted only if the default rate is 0. |
If you have defined a trade rate for the Employee in the upper section or the selected Trade, Datastream 7i automatically populates Rate with the appropriate hourly rate, and you cannot modify the value. If you have defined a trade rate for the Employee in the upper section, Datastream 7i populates Rate with the employee trade rate. However, if you have not defined trade rates for the employee, Datastream 7i populates Rate with the trade rate defined for the selected Trade.
However, if you have not defined a trade rate for either the selected employee or trade, Datastream 7i displays the Rate dialog box, and you must enter a valid rate before you can book hours for the activity.
Choose File | Save from the menu bar. Datastream 7i saves the information to the database.
