If you enter the start and end times when booking activities and enter another booking later that day, 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. |
Rate—Enter or modify the hourly pay rate for the employee and/or trade performing the work as necessary. If you have defined a trade rate for the select employee and/or trade, Datastream 7i automatically populates Rate with the appropriate hourly rate, depending on the setting of the VWTRDRAT installation parameter.
If you have defined a trade rate for the selected Employee, Datastream 7i populates Rate with the employee trade rate. However, if you have not defined trade rates for the selected 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.
