To select a time card for mass entry, you enter search criteria and indicate whether the time card that you want to enter is pre-approved or unapproved. Your choice to enter a time card period end date depends on whether you want to enter one time card or multiple time cards for the employee you enter.
Enter an end date for one time card: When you click Retrieve, e-timecard searches for a time card that matches your criteria. If it finds one, then it instantly opens it on the Edit Time Card screen. Once you are finished entering the employee time card, you can return to the Mass Enter Time Cards screen to enter criteria for a different time card.
Leave the end date blank for multiple time cards: When you click Retrieve, e-timecard searches for time cards for the employee. If it finds one or more, then it instantly opens the current time card on the Edit Time Card screen.
If your company's setup allows, you also have the option of entering an org9, then clicking Retrieve List to see all employees for the org9. When you select an employee from the list, e-timecard either opens the employee's time card for the end date that you entered, or it opens the employee's current time card if you left the end date blank.
Note: If you enter an employee and leave the end date blank, or if you select an employee from a list that you retrieve for an org9, then you can use the Select a time card period dropdown list on the Edit Time Card screen to move among the employee's time cards. The employee's time cards are sorted by period.
Follow these instructions to select a time card for mass entry.
