Action by initial import from JAMIS

Explanation

Creates each of the files noted in the e-timecard mapping table.

Before you run the import:

• In the JAMIS employee master, set the XTRA TIMECARD field for additional time cards to zero for any employee who will use e-timecard.

• In the e-timecard Company file, set the employee ID mask to either N9 or A9.

Creates three default employee types: hourly, salaried, and non-employee.

Create additional employee types in e-timecard as needed.

Sets the time card approver to the TC Approver in JAMIS. If it cannot find a TC Approver, then it uses the org9 manager. If you are integrated with a version of JAMIS earlier than 4.03, then the program always uses the org9 manager.

For any employee who will approve time cards, you must check the Time Card Approver box on the Employee Details screen, e-timecard Data tab.

Imports only payroll earning codes.

Although the program imports all payroll codes, it uses the first code it finds with a class of “V” as the vacation-taken job. Similarly, it uses the first codes with classes of “S” or “H” as the sick- and holiday-taken jobs, respectively. This action sets the employee’s accrual balances.

Loads paid day off (PDO) earning codes.

The program loads accrual balances for PDO codes from the accrual hours balance in the JAMIS employee earning codes file, and it loads non-PDO balances from the yearly hours due field in the JAMIS employee master.

Creates the job master.

The program appends to the job master for additions or closures. If your company uses customer job numbers in JAMIS, then the program loads these to a non-modifiable, hidden table in e-timecard. e-timecard associates only a single customer job number (or WBS) with each job. On the e-timecard Initialization screen, you can choose to display the WBS on the time card screen for employee verification only.

Creates all cost elements.
