However, on the Payable Time Details page, you can view the details of how it is allocated.

Payable Time Detail page

This page displays the payable time details for each day, including the TRC for the time. The TRC either is entered by the employee when reporting time, or it is generated by the system when the Time Administration process is run. The system also displays the number of units, amounts, or hours for the TRC. This value must be within the minimum and maximum quantity set for the TRC. The TRC type determines if this value is amounts, units, or hours. The system displays the date of the reported time and the current status of the payable time. The payable status records the progress of payable time through its different stages.

Forecasted Time Summary page

The Forecast Payable Time feature enables you to estimate what your payable time is for the current period or for a future time period. It looks at reported time and scheduled time, and calculates what the payable time would be for a specified time period using that information. By using the Forecast Payable Time feature, you can look at how many hours you have reported to date in the period, and what the remaining scheduled hours are. The Forecast Payable page shows you your estimated payable time.

There are four ways to forecast payable time:

  • Forecast time for a month or for a specific day using the Time and Labor Launch Pad.

  • Forecast time for the time period associated with the Process Date by clicking the Forecast Payable Time button on the Time Administration Run Control page.

Note: Forecasted Payable Time is not actual Payable Time. To generate Payable Time, you must use the processes for creating Payable Time.

The View Forecasted Payable Time Summary page displays one week of payable time. The system allocates time based on the TRC, and displays the total quantity of hours for each TRC to which time was reported within the specified date range.
