Project Hours Limit Policy template
Use this template to create a business rule that sets the limit on the number of hours per week that can be billed to a specific project.
class name =
largesoft.br.rules.system.ProjectHoursLimitThis business rule template ensures that no one can charge more than a specified number of hours to a project over any one week in a timesheet.
This business rule is limited by:
- Only handles weekly time periods.
- Does not check the previous or next timesheet.
Therefore, if this timesheet begins in the middle of the week, this rule uses the hours for the fraction of the week that is in this timesheet.
This business rule iterates over existing line items to compute a total and then checks whether the current line item pushes the total over some max value. In the HTML client, the current line item is added to the document after the business rule is run. Therefore, run the business rule run during submit so that violation is against the document rather than a single line item.
