In this release we have provided the ability to avoid the credit process during interpretation (the process whereby the interpreter offsets the target timesheet values from the adjustment timesheet).
This new functionality can only be applied to Imported Timesheets for a Standard Rate Job, and will be triggered via a new setting in the timesheet import process called ‘No Credit Interpret’. Where true, this setting will ensure the data imported will be represented unchanged in the interpreted adjustment timesheets. Click here for more details on this setting.
In Interpreter Review, where ‘No Credit Interpret’ has been stored against the imported interpreted timesheet:
The logic to credit (offset) the target timesheet’s transactions to find the balance between target and adjustment, will not be run. As such the results will be exactly what was imported, which will include positive and negative values (if using a negative values in import to adjust quantity and or reimbursements). As such in the Primary Interpretation Details Tab, you will not see any offset transactions.
In the Interpreted Timesheet Details Tab, ‘No Credit Interpret’ is displayed so users will be aware that this setting has been applied to the imported timesheet’s data.
This enhancement is designed to support data import from third party system, where:
import data needs to be honored exactly as per the VMS output.
iterations of a timesheet could potentially be imported out of order ie; adjustment prior to the target timesheet.
adjustment data needs to be ‘drip fed’ onto timesheets. For example worked items are imported first, and then expenses and or overtime items are imported later.
No configuration is required.
