HCM (Human Capital Management, Payroll)

We are on version 9 upd 17.  Our financial periods are calendar based.  We use Shop Order Labor, Indirect Jobs and Project Labor.   A supervisor will have a mix of both hourly and salaried employees.  We don’t want the supervisor to have to authorize labor in many different ways so we want to use Time Registration screen.  This is always a weekly view.  This works ok until the end of month falls in the middle of the week.  We want to authorize through month end, for example, March 31, 2021 so we can post these labor transactions but using Time Registration causes the full week - through April 4, 2021 to be authorized.  This prevents employees from entering labor for the remainder of the week.  Has anyone developed a method to avoid this issue?

How can we automate the rolling forward of unused holidays of employees to next year, without any manual intervention.

We are currently considering using IFS Time Tracker 10 for employees to register time using their phone/tab/PC. IFS Time Tracker 10 is available in Apple and Google Play app stores. However Microsoft Store only has up to Time Tracker 9 and does not have the 10 version. Does anyone know why?The PCs and some of the tabs are associated with Microsoft user accounts and we are unable to get Time Tracker 10 onto them due to this issue.

I was informed that Counselor ID is the Supervisor ID who has access to a particular employee. When selecting the Counselor ID via LOV in Employee Development Plan> counseling plan tab, there is a list of Supervisors shown, however, not all supervisors who has access to the employee. For example, Matt is a supervisor of Donna and is listed as a Supervisor on Employee-Access Info as well. Also is available as the supervisor in Employee File summary. But when l go to the LOV in Counselor ID field, Matt is not listed there. Matt has access to Donna and is valid and active for the period and l logged in from app owner as well.Need to know if there is any other condition required for a Supervisor to be defined as a Counselor?

Hi, If an employee is assigned access to an org code with a specific access role designed to only allow the authorisation of expense sheets, access is also granted to view employees in the authorisation page.We have situations where expenses are created and not available for the manager to see because the manager has been moved to another org code. They might have moved in to another role in the business (and the expense claimant does not report in to them anymore) but the expense is sitting ready for them to authorise but are not able to view the expense. Is there a way to grant access to only the expense sheets, and not have employees show up in the authorisation page?Info: Apps 9 

Hello,We are currently using IFS Apps 8, and have been asked to provide a presentation illustrating the importance of the HR module within IFS to other key modules and processes.For example, we know service&maintenance relies heavily on the HR module for employee record, scheduling etc especially when you add the PSO (360) module into the equation. So in essence if we were to not use IFS HR module, what wouldn’t we be able to do in IFS anymore?Is there a document or illustration which maps the link between HR and other modules within IFS?Alternatively if you can provide a bullet point list of areas that require the HR module that also would be great.Any feedback would be appreciatedRegardsShaun 

Hi,a customer has the following requirements:Employees needs to enter and confirm their clockings/time reportings. Supervisor needs to be able to view confirmed times and authorize the times of their supervised employees, but they should NOT be able to confirm (or change) the times of their supervised employees. Is this setting/configuration possible in HCM with Standard functionalities? How? Do you have similar requirements? Thanks in advance and best regards,Siri

Using Aurena Client version 10.8.94.0.On the Expense Sheet Details screen in Aurena, I am trying to add a credit card transaction as a expense. For the highlighted expense, I would like to split the amount into 2 expense lines so that it can be linked to different accounts. Once I click on Add as Expense, I modify the Gross Currency Amount so that a line with Gross Amount = $10 is added to the Expense and Allowances section. But once I click on OK, it seems to add the whole amount (i.e. $26.2) rather than the Gross Currency Amount that I have specified. I also turned on the “Partial Balance” setting on the Credit Card Configuration screen in Aurena -  This works perfectly in IFS. The $10 amount is added as an expense and the pending $16.20 remains on the Credit Card tab of the Expense Sheet screen in IFS to be added as an expense later. Does anyone know if I am missing out on any setup or if this is a bug in Aurena?

Why do I get this error as soon as i say card driven execution? Works ok without it.TIA 

I’ve created a lobby element which shows upcoming leave for senior management - this is for use by our Project Management department.   As Senior Managers are across various org units, I’ve had to grant Project Managers access to departments via Graphical Org Structure and to relevant Positions via Position Access Setup. This means, they can see senior managers’ time registration/absences. Is there a way to grant access just to the lobby data source, without having to touch HR org/position access? i.e. so they are only able to see these absences via the lobby element?

Hello,I’m trying to create custom menu which opens quick report (SQL type). As parameters I want to use fields on form but those fields are not part of database view.To be specific I’m trying to use data from frmTimeCard (weekly time card) where fields frmTimeCard.dfsFromDay and frmTimeCard.dfsToDay are available. Is there a way to use this data as forms date fields are not part of the view by some :i_hwndFrame.frmTimeCard.dfsFromDay reference?Kind regards, Artur

HiOn IFS 10 update 8, it seems that approval on training registrations are no longer needed. When consulting the F1 help, it seems that automatic training approval is optional. However, I am unable to figure out where this is controlled. Has anybody figured this out?  BR Kristian

We enter an absence line in the result tab of time card for 4h with the tag “not removable” because the employee takes half a day of.Then on the day itself the employee will add a line “in normal” in the clocking tab and a line “out absence” total of 4h.After that we use a scheduled task that uses TIME_PERS_DIARY_UTIL_API.geerate_hours that calculates the result tab.But then we see that the calculated result gives us 3 lines:4h absence that we entered manually 4h work time as recorded 4h absence that was calculated to reach the 8h of their scheduleThe 3rd line should’t be added because we already put in 4h of absence.This looks like a bug to me or am I forgetting to add a parameter?
