A Timesheet Entry screen option is provided which allows entry of Plant Issue transactions as part of the timesheet data entry. This would typically be off a day sheet, where a plant driver is entering the time he worked on jobs, and the plant costings are to be entered at the same time

The P button on timesheet line entry refers to 'Plant'.
Where the person on the timesheet is designated as a Driver of any Plant Items (see the Details tab in Plant Maintenance) the tab sequence on the timesheet line automatically includes the 'P' Plant button. The Plant Issue screen will automatically pop up at the end of the timesheet entry line, with default Plant Issue transactions for all the Plant Items for which the person is the designated driver.

The Plant Issue transaction created has the following defaults:

  • the quantity as per the timesheet line, which can be changed
  • the default Rate Code for the Plant Item, which can be changed
  • Activity Code from the selected Rate Code
  • Work Centre based on the Control Parameter 'Plant Timesheet Default Work Centre' (see details below)

There is an 'Accept' checkbox on the created lines (which defaults to selected). On exit from the screen those lines selected will create Plant Issue transactions

If the Person on the timesheet is not a Driver of any Plant Item, the Plant Issue popup screen will not default. However if Plant Issues are to be entered relevant to this line, the button can be clicked and the Plant Issue popup screen will display. The Plant Items will need to be selected.

The Control Parameter 'Plant Timesheet Default Work Centre' determines the Work Centre Code to be used on the Plat Issue transactions created through timesheet entry.
If blank or set to 'Plant' the Work Centre on the Enter Timesheet Plant Issues Entry popup will be derived from the default Rate Code for the Plant Item. If set to 'Timesheet' the Work Centre on the popup screen will be the Work Centre on the timesheet line from which the Plant Issue lines are derived.

Once created the Plant Issue transactions will appear on the Plant Issues tab, and can be edited from there if required.
