This is an automation to adjust the cost in financials (WIP) based on the standard weekly hours for salaried (Exempt) personnel. The process adjusts only the cost in WIP where the hours per week that are posted for a resource are more than the standard work week. The Posted hours in the timesheet and in WIP remain untouched. For the process to calculate correctly, all time in a given week needs to be accounted for, including all non-project time. The process has three input parameters as explained below:- wkStdHour: Standard Weekly Hours; this can be changed in the process gel script. The parameter is based on the organization standard work week. The default is set to 40 hours.
- xogBatchSize: The XOG batch size. This is used to upload data in batches to avoid high memory and performance issues. The default batch size is set to 50 records.
- username: The resource name that the process uses for uploading data. The default is set to admin.
- It will process all the timesheets in posted state provided the timesheet has not been adjusted earlier by this process and there are no pending transactions to be posted for it. Validation is made based on Notes field, which is populated once adjustment is done by the process.
- Notes field should not be modified in Script nor should be worked upon by any other process.
- All the invalid transactions should be cleared and post to WIP should be finished with no pending records.
