Oracle Time and Labor enables you to convert the entry of days in a timecard to hours. An employee can enter regular work time in hours and enter vacation time in days in the same timecard, and exclude the day entry from timecard explosion. The application converts the vacation day entry to hours and the Projects Application records the converted values.
To set up day-to -hours conversion, do the following
Using the HRMS Responsibility, enter the working hours and select the frequency for an employee in the Person/Assignment window. For example, enter the working hours as 40.
Using the OTL responsibility, create a Time category. For example, create a Time category for the element Vacation.
Attach the preference Time Store Days to Hours Conversion to the employee.
Ensure that you select the correct Time Category you created in step 2 as the value for the associated preference segment Time Category Identifying Day Elements, and select the number of days according to your requirement for the Number of Days in Assignment Frequency.
Approve the timecard the employee submits.
Using the Projects Responsibility, run the PRC : Transaction Import process.
See: Running Transaction Import from OTL to Oracle Projects
The application converts the Vacation element of one day to 8 hour, if your regular working hours is 8 hours a day (40 hours divided by five for a five day work week). The application converts the vacation element's one day entry to 8 hours and transfers the converted day-to-hours to the Projects Application.
