People

You use the People package to maintain employee-related data as well as to enter and process hours and expenses. The costs that result from this process are booked to Project, Manufacturing, Service, and Financials.

After the appropriate master data is defined, users can perform the following:

• Enter hours/expenses
• Enter budgets (optional)
• Approve hours/expenses (optional)
• Process hours/expenses
• Update budgets with actual hours (optional)
• Archive hours/expenses

After hours are registered, you can approved and process them. Actual hours can then be compared with budgeted hours.

You use Master Data to register employee information and codes that are used for general hours and expenses. You can also register information about roles, skills, rates, and surcharges.

  For a single employee or a team, you can use working time schedules to distribute actual hours for a task by generating hours lines for a period range.
