Assignments (bpmdm0130m000)
Use this session to define and modify assignments per employee. You can use assignments to facilitate efficient data entry in the hours accounting sessions.
In this session, assignments are displayed that originate from Project through the Update Assignments in Hours Accounting (tpptc2211m000) session. Only projects with status Active can update assignments. On the Project tab, the Assignment Origin field will display Project. If you change a project assignment, note that the budget line is not updated.
To specify recurrence, on the General tab, in the Recurrence field, zoom to the Recurrences (tcccp0143m000) session.
How to use assignments
The assignments you enter in the Assignments (bpmdm0130m000) session provide the employee with a list of predefined tasks in the hours accounting sessions. The employee can decide to retrieve only those assignments for the current period. If a recurrent assignment is displayed, for example, a weekly meeting, the employee can book hours on the selected assignment as if the assignment were a task.
When you enter a new assignment, not all fields are mandatory. However, if you wish to use an assignment in an hours accounting session, you must enter all fields, otherwise, you will get an error message.
You can decide to leave the labor time of the assignment empty. This means that LN generates zero lines in the hours accounting session. If the employee does not edit these generated hours entries, zero lines are automatically deleted when the hours are processed.
- If a working time schedule code is entered for an employee, the start time of the assignment is checked with the start time of the working time schedule. Make sure the assignment does not start before the working time schedule day starts.
- To remove outdated assignments from the list, use the command on the appropriate menu.
- If this session is accessed from the various hours entry sessions, only the assignments related to the specific hours entry session and the assignments which are effective for the current hours period, are displayed.
