Setting Up Time Entry Information for the Mobile Field Progress Entry Applications

If you are using these mobile applications to enter timecards for employees, you must first verify that your system is set up to allow entry of timecards using the HCM Self-Service system. You also use the self-service setup to specify which pay types are available to employees when creating self-service timecards.

For additional information and instructions about setting up and using self service time entry, see Setting Up Self-Service Time Entry.

Additionally, if your users are entering time for employees other than those employees who directly report to them, you must verify that delegate records have been set up, and that those records are set up with an Authorization Type of 1, which enables users to enter, change, delete, approve, and reject timecards for the specified employees. You must also verify that the delegate records are set up to include the appropriate date range.

For additional information about setting up time entry delegate information, see Understanding Manager Delegates Setup for Time Entry.

If your users are using a crew ID to retrieve employees, they should verify that the system has the employees assigned to the crew in the Resource Master table (F48310). You use the Resource Master program (P48310) to assign employees to a crew.

For additional information about assigning resources to crews, see Understanding Resource Master Records.

Lastly, be aware that after you create timecards using these mobile applications, those timecards are stored in the F06116Z1 table, and must be transferred to the F06116 before they can be processed through a payroll cycle. For additional information about this process, see Setting Up Time Entry Batch Processing.
