Applies To

Payroll > Time Entry > Time/Equipment/Production Units Entry > file/user preferences/window/default values sub tab

 Human Resources > Employee Information > Property tab

Resolution/Fix/Answer

Once the asset is linked to the employee record, through the Human Resources > Employee Information screen using the Property tab to identify the asset associated with the employee (generally a vehicle), you can set the parameter to create the equipment timecard automatically when the employee timecard hours re entered.

In the Employee HR Information screen;

• Query the employees associated with the Assets you want to create timecards for
• Select the Property tab
• Select the Property Type Code for the asset to link
• Enter the Fixed Asset Id and Date Issued values

In the Time/Equipment/Production Units entry screen,

• Click on the 'file' dropdown menu at the top of the screen, 
• Select User Preferences
• Select Window
• Select Default Values tab
• Click on the checkbox for 'Create Eq Timecard' 
• Click on 'Apply'

When you enter the employee's labor hours in the Timecard screen, an equal number of hours will automatically be entered to the asset associated with the employee.
