Priority: Low
Product: Payroll & HR
Group: Enhancement
Time Taken: 24.00 (Weight: 18.00)
Assigned To: Development
Circulation: Bhavisha Devi, Development, Sanjay, Vineshwar Prasad

Status: Closed
Subject: Claim Entry to be a fixed Value as it is used for Expenses that are not always "Time related"
Summary:    The client has Employees working overtime. They apply for the following claims;
  1. Meal Allowance
  2. Height Allowance
Claims can be made in the following forms;
  1. Work from 5 PM to 7 PM and get 15 dollars Meal Allowance
  2. Work from 5 PM to 9 PM and get 15 dollars Meal Allowance
  3. Work from 7 PM to 9 PM and get 15 dollars Meal Allowance
  4. Climb 1 height for Installation and get 100 dollars Height Allowance
  5. Climb 2 heights for Installation and get 200 dollars Height Allowance
Issue
  1. This can be claimed using the Time Entry form however Time range makes it difficult 
  2. Time Entry has a Date From and Date To field. This needs to be filled for the Rate to multiply with the Hours
    1. For example: 5 PM to 7 PM = 2 Hrs. Meal Allowance is 15 dollars. This becomes 2 Hrs x 15 dollars = 30 dollars
    2. For example: 5 PM to 8 PM = 3 Hrs. Meal Allowance is 15 dollars. This becomes 3 Hrs x 15 dollars = 45 dollars
The following changes will achieve the above;
  1. In the menu "Time Management -> Time View by Day", when creating a new Time Entry we can choose Claim Entry and Activity Type "Height Allowance". We want the Duration to Quantity = 1 instead of the difference in Start and End Time
  2. The Start and End time is not relevant
  3. Users should be able to edit the Duration

The following to LinkSOFT will achieve the requirements
  1. In the menu Time Management -> Time Setup -> Entry Type Maintenance -> Activity, we can add the following
    1. Default Duration. If the value is set, Time Entry will use this default value, otherwise Duration = End time - Start Time
Test Plan
  1. Create an Activity called "Height Allowance" and set the default Duration = 1
  2. Create a Time Entry and use Activity "Height Allowance"
    1. The Default value should be 1 and editable
    2. The Default value should not change when the Start and End time is changed
  3. Remove the Default value from "Height Allowance"
  4. Create a Time Entry and use Activity "Height Allowance"
    1. The Default value should be based on the Start and End Time
    2. The Default value should change when the Start and End time is changed
