Time Tracking: Implementation Activity

In the following implementation activity, you will learn how to configure the system to be able to track employee time in payroll.

Story

Suppose that you, as an administrative user of the SweetLife Fruits & Jams company, are configuring payroll. The manager of the company has decided to track time that employees spend on their work activities and calculate paychecks based on this information.

You must configure the basic time tracking configuration.

System Preparation

Before you start configuring time tracking, you should launch the MYOB Acumatica website and sign in as a system administrator by using the following credentials:

  • Username: gibbs
  • Password: 123

As a prerequisite activity, in the company to which you are signed in, be sure you have completed the Payment Methods: To Define a Direct Deposit Payment Method.

Step: Reviewing the Basic Configuration for Time Reporting

Make sure the minimum required configuration for time reporting has been performed by doing the following:

  1. On the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, make sure that the Time Management feature is enabled.
  2. On the Company Tree (EP204061) form, make sure that each employee who may need to report time activities is included in a proper workgroup and their manager is included in a parent workgroup to be able to review and approve reported time activities.
  3. On the Activity Types (CR102000) form, make sure the Track Time and Costs check box is selected for the Work Item activity type, which you will use for logging employee time.
