General Hours (bptmm1111m200)

Use this session to enter hours for general tasks. You cannot relate a general task to a package, the hours are processed only to Financials with the linked cost component.

To use predefined assignments, from the appropriate menu, select Get Assignments.

Note
  • You can either enter hours per day (only if the period duration is less than or equal to seven days), or enter a total of hours per task.
  • If you enter a total amount, you can enter one text block per line. If you enter hours per day, each day has its own text block.

Cost Component
A cost component is a collection of cost objects with a certain characteristic. A cost component does not depend on the cost type, therefore, for example, a project can be monitored from another dimension. For example, all the costs that refer to electrical work, for example, cable and installation work, are visible if the applicable cost objects are linked to the cost component Electrical work.
Department
A company's organizational unit that carries out a specific set of tasks, for example, a sales office or a purchase office. Departments are assigned number groups for the orders they issue. The department's enterprise unit determines the financial company to which the financial transactions that the department generates are posted.
Labor Type
The classification of work performed, and the time of day at which the work is performed (either normal working hours or overtime). Based on the kind of work and the hour type, you can use labor types to specify surcharges so that LN can calculate the actual labor costs in People.
Overtime
If this check box is selected, the entered labor hours are seen as overtime.

You cannot manually change this setting: it is determined by the labor type used on the time line.
