Understanding Time Entry Batch Processing

Time entry batch processing uploads and converts timecard information from a third-party source to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system. After the information is converted, you can create timecards in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system. You can upload timecard information from any of these third-party sources:

  • A remote PC time entry program.

  • Custom systems.

  • Electronic data interchange (EDI) transactions.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Interoperability model makes possible the sharing and processing of information between a third-party source and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software.

The Inbound Flat File Conversion program (R47002C) for uploading batches of timecards verifies that the information in F06116Z1 is processed correctly and copied to F06116. After the information is in F06116Z1, you can create timecards.

You can upload timecard information from a third-party source as a flat file that will correspond to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne time entry forms. You might need to format the timecard information in the third-party source so that the information is uploaded in a corresponding tabular format.

The uploaded timecard information is stored in the F06116Z1 table until you process the information. When you process the information, the system creates timecards and stores them in the F06116 table with all other timecards. However, before you create timecards from uploaded information, you can review the information in the table and revise it for accuracy. Review the Batch File Register report to verify that the uploaded batches are accurate. After you have reviewed and revised a batch of uploaded timecard information, you can use the information to create timecards. After the timecards are created, you can include them in payroll cycle processing.

You can set processing options to have the system automatically purge the processed batches from the F06116Z1 table when you create the timecards. The system automatically purges the processed batches from F06116Z1. Doing so conserves computer disk space and makes locating unprocessed batches easier.
