Process to correct timesheet Att/Abs for closed period

Former Member

Hi Experts,

Problem scenario :

An employee logged his timesheet on 1st Sept on a absence type selecting Network and activity. The timesheet was transferred to HR and PS/CO

In HR it reduced his leave

in PS cost was posted to project

The period is closed.

Now today, there is a correction needed as employee says he mistakenly selected Holiday Absence type instead of Working Time attendance type.

The network and activity remains same.

What's a way to correct this entry so that  it would cancel his leave and what would be the impact to PS now that period is closed?

Do we just go back and correct the att/abs type and resubmit and then transfer to HR only and NOT PS?

Thanks,

Krishna

Hi Krishna,

The only part that concerns PS is the posting date.  And that you can select manually into the current open period.  The system default logic is that posting date = working date, but you need to change that for current period.

Hi Paulo,

Cost is posted to period 9, and we are good with it. Period is closed. Just that Holiday Absence type was selected instead of working hours in the Attn/Abs field while time entry on network activity.

That reduced leave from the resources annual leave. We just want to correct that part.

can the time admin go and just change the Attn/Abs type for that resource from "Leave" to "Working time" and resubmit and just transfer to HR only?

Many Thanks,

Krishna

Hi Krishna,

Theoretically that sounds right, but I am afraid any record change will reset its status from CATS perspective.  So, that is why you will need to approve it again.

And once it is approved the transfer will be pending (equally to all relevant components).  Normally that is batch jobs that pick up automatically on transfers, so you will have a risk that at any time it can go into PS anyway.

So, it is better to have it under controlled move to PS.  Your cost will remain in period 9.  In the current period (let us say period 11) you will post reversal and same posting again, so in total it will be a zero cost impact for period 11.

Just note that for transfer of that specific record(s) you need to specify two posting dates manually (one for reversal and one for posting in the current period).

Hi Krishna,

In CATA under Target components section the next section is Posting Date.  You need both dates for period 11: for posting and for reversal: 01.11.2015
