I am wanting to find a way for employee 1 to go directly into a certain indirect code. Example. Employee 1 clocks in for the day and the will go directly into indirect1 vs being in the idle indirect category.
You will probably have to do a customization to get that to work. You would follow the trace of all of the steps you normally take, and call the BO objects in code.
You probably can do it with a BPM, but feedback for what happened would be a little tougher and you would be locked in.
Also, I think there setup options to automatically calculate idle time, so if he just clocks in, but doesn’t start any activity, when he clocks out, I think it will automatically create a labor dtl record for idle.
edit:
it’s in company configuration
Yes, that is all working well. I was wanting his labor to go somewhere else vs the idle time. That way he goes to xxx whenever he is not in an activity.
ok, so at this point, you can probably intercept the writing of that detail, and change in in a pre-processing BPM. Like most things, start with a trace to see what is being called, then make a BPM on that BO and use some criteria to set the desired codes.
Is there a reason he can’t clock into the correct indirect on his own? If you do this based on his EmpID he won’t be on idle ever. (maybe that’s ok, but I could just see some issues in the future)
There is no reason whatsoever why they couldn’t do that. Trying to keep it simple (since clocking into an indirect is not ;-)) Lol. Thank you for your insight.
you can assign an indirect expense at the employee record and then create a resource group you want to use to capture that time. when the employee clocks in have them start indirect activity and clock to that resource.
Great idea. thanks!
