Three Time and Labor components and a number of public queries exit to audit and track time. The components include Reported Time Audit, Unprocessed Reported Time, and Unprocessed Payable Time. This section provides an overview of these components and lists the delivered public queries for auditing time.
Reported Time Audit
The Reported Time Audit component contains pages that display time that exists in the Reported Time tables and in the Audit tables, which include all entries and changes that have occurred to the time. Audit pages enable you to view punch and elapsed time for historical purposes and to track the changes that have occurred to the originally reported time. On the main Reported Time Audit pages, the system displays reported time that is current. A History link is displayed if changes were made to the originally reported time; otherwise the link is unavailable. The pages include the Time Reporting Elements and Task Reporting Elements tabs that contain additional information about the reported time. These pages eliminate the need to create reports to track changes to time.
Unprocessed Reported Time
The Unprocessed Reported Time component identifies time that is still in Reported Time for these reasons:
Time needs approval
Time has not been submitted (or is in a Saved status).
Time has been denied.
Exceptions exist for the time entered.
The total payable time is less than the sum of submitted or approved time.
Unprocessed Payable Time
The Unprocessed Payable Time component identifies time with these statuses:
Approved – Goes to Payroll
Needs Approval
Estimated – Ready for Payroll
Sent to Payroll (if PNA is the pay system)
Taken – Used by Payroll (if GP is the pay system)
Rejected by Payroll
Queries to Track Time
These queries enable you to identify time that was entered through Mass Time or Rapid Time but is not in Reported Time.
