Step 16: Updating Time Reporter Status

In this final step of the Time Administration run, the system resets the values in the TL_TR_STATUS record.

Note: Time Administration does not update TR status when it creates forecasted Payable Time.

For each fully processed positive time reporter, the system sets the status (TA_STATUS) to N and the EARLIEST_CHGDT to the latest date of payable time in the TL_PAYABLE_TIME table. If, after Time Administration has been run, time data is altered, or new time data is entered for a time reporter that affects the period just processed (or a prior period), the system updates TA_STATUS to Y and updates EARLIEST_CHGDT to reflect the earliest date of reported time. The time reporter can then be reprocessed.
For exception reporters, the system resets the status (TA_STATUS) to Y rather than to N (TA_STATUS is always set to Y for exception reporters) and automatically moves the EARLIEST_CHGDT to the beginning of the next processing period. The time reporter is not reprocessed unless new data is entered that causes the EARLIEST_CHGT field to be reset in the period that was just processed or in a prior period.
