Manage Time Sheet Time Code Exceptions#
WMTTSE (Manage Time Exception) was developed to give managers the ability to manage their employees time exceptions for a pay period. This functionality can only be used for employees whose time sheets are generated with shifts (start and end time sheets). As an exception is handled, it is removed from the exception list. The screen will only display previous day(s) time exceptions; users can define the time frame for which a manager can handle the exceptions, through a where clause. Although this is a user-definable value, High Line does not recommend setting this to a large value as it may result in a performance issue.
Clients have the ability to define the time frame for which they want the exceptions to display in the list. This may be done by modifying the where clause called ‘EX_TM_TYP_MGR’. By default the exception period is 7 days from yesterday. Although users have the ability to change the exception period, High Line does not recommend making the interval too long as it may result in performance issues.
