Important Note: Before using the mobile applications, Oracle strongly recommends that users have a complete understanding of how to use the associated processes and applications in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne base software. For additional information about the processes and applications associated with the mobile applications discussed in this chapter, see: Entering Timecards for Employees in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Time and Labor Implementation Guide. Setting Up Self-Service Time Entry in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management Self-Service Implementation Guide.

41.1 Project Time Entry Mobile Applications Overview

You use the Project Time Entry mobile applications to allow employees to enter, review, update and submit project and non-project timecards. The smartphone and tablet applications enable you to enter timecards using these entry methods:

• You can view a list of timecard accounts for which time has already been charged to during a pay period. You can then select the account to enter a new timecard using that account.

• You can view a list of project accounts. You can then select the project to enter a new timecard using the project account.

• You can enter non-project timecards.

This table lists the applications that are available to review and update existing employee timecards, and to enter new timecards:

Type of Application	Additional Information
Base EnterpriseOne application	To update existing timecards and to enter new timecards, use these applications in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system: Time Entry Self Service Director program (P051125) Daily Time Entry (P051127)
Tablet application	Project Time Entry (M51047) To download the application to your tablet, search on the following text in the application store: JD Edwards Project Time Entry
Smartphone application	Project Time Entry (M51048) To download the application to your device, search on the following text in the application store: JD Edwards Project Time Entry

Before using the Project Time Entry tablet or smartphone application, you must set up the versions and processing options for the following programs. You then specify, in the processing options for the mobile tablet and smartphone applications, the versions that you have set up to process timecard data on the mobile devices.

• Time Entry Self-Service Director program (P051125)

• Employee Summary Time Entry program (P051128)

• Cost Code Schedule program (P51901)

• Employee Organizational Assignments program (P0801ORG)

• Employee Basic Compensation program (P0801CMP)

• Speed Time Entry program (P051121)

41.1.1 Differences and Limitations: Project Time Entry

Mobile applications are intended to be a simplified version of the applications that are available in the base software. In most cases, these applications provide a subset of the functionality available in the base software.

The functions of the Project Time Entry mobile applications are not different from base EnterpriseOne applications. Therefore, not all the timecard information for a job available in the base software is available in the mobile applications.

41.2 Setting Up the Project Time Entry Mobile Applications

Before using the Project Time Entry mobile applications, verify that the processing options for each application are set correctly. The processing options for both the tablet and the smartphone applications specify which versions of the base EnterpriseOne applications the mobile applications use.

The system administrator must set the processing options for these mobile applications before the applications are made available to end users.

See "Setting Processing Options for Time Entry Self Service Director program (P051125)” in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Human Capital Management Self-Service Implementation Guide.

(Release 9.2 Update) You can use one of the following options to scan barcodes of equipment number:

• Disable the Bluetooth option in the settings on your device if you want to use the native device camera to scan the barcodes of equipment number.

• Enable the Bluetooth option if you want to use a Bluetooth-enabled scanning device to scan the barcodes of equipment number.

To scan barcodes using the Bluetooth scanning device, you must configure the scanning device to the mobile device.
