Entering Employee Time

Access the Speed Time Entry Revisions form.

Interim ID

Specify a code that identifies a group of employees for whom you are processing payroll.

Use this ID to process each step of the payroll cycle. This code is also used to identify the interim ID that you select when you enter interim payments.

Batch

Specify a number that identifies a group of transactions that the system processes and balances as a unit.

When you enter a batch, you can either assign a batch number or let the system assign it using the Next Numbers program.

You do not need to enter a batch number if you have set automatic batch numbering in the processing options (P050002A).

Equipment Worked

Specify an identification code that represents an asset.

You enter the identification code in one of these formats:

  1. Asset number (a computer-assigned, eight-digit, numeric control number).

  2. Unit number (a 12-character alphanumeric field).

  3. Serial number (a 25-character alphanumeric field).

Every asset has an asset number. You can use unit number and serial number to further identify assets. If this is a data entry field, the first character that you enter indicates whether you are entering the primary (default) format that is defined for the system, or one of the other two formats.

A special character (such as / or *) in the first position of this field indicates which asset number format you are using. You assign special characters to asset number formats in the fixed assets constants.

Equipment Worked is not required if you are using speed coding.
