Select this check box to use the project, account, organization and/or pay type specified on this screen as a first level of default, rather than the values from the Manage Employee Information and Manage Employee Salary Information screens, when building the auto-pay timesheet lines.

All other default values for the auto-pay timesheet line come from the Default tab on the Manage Employee Information and the Employee Salary Information screen. If a default project is specified on the Create Auto-Pay Timesheets screen, the other timesheet line values default from the following levels of default:

• Create Auto-Pay Timesheets
• Manage Employee Project Timesheet Defaults
• Manage Employee Proj-Acct-Group Timesheet Defaults
• Manage Labor-Group Proj-Acct-Group Timesheet Defaults
• Manage Project Timesheet Defaults
• Manage Employee Information - Default tab
• Manage Employee Salary Information

If a default project is not specified on the Create Auto-Pay Timesheets screen, the timesheet line values default from the following levels of default:

• Create Auto-Pay Timesheets
• Manage Employee Information - Default tab
• Manage Employee Salary Information

If you are a multi-state Payroll user (the Enable > Multi-State Tax Withholding check box is selected on the Pay Periods screen) and a default project is supplied from the Create Auto-Pay Timesheets screen, Costpoint obtains the withholding state using the following levels of default:

• Manage Employee Project Timesheet Defaults
• Manage Employee Proj-Acct-Group Timesheet Defaults
• Manage Labor-Group Proj-Acct-Group Timesheet Defaults
• Manage Project Timesheet Defaults
• Manage Employee Taxes

If a project is not specified in the Create Auto-Pay Timesheets screen, the withholding state defaults from the Manage Employee Taxes screen.

Select this check box to use the project, account, organization, and pay type specified on the Create Auto-Pay Timesheets screen as the final level of default. The Default tab on the Manage Employee Information screen and the Manage Employee Salary Information screen are higher levels of defaults for those four values.

• If a default project is specified on the Default tab of the Manage Employee Information screen, that value is used to populate the auto-pay timesheet line project. If a default project is not assigned to the employee on the Default tab of the Manage Employee Information screen, the default project provided on the Create Auto-Pay Timesheets screen is used to populate the auto-pay timesheet line project
• If a default organization is specified on the Default tab of the Manage Employee Information screen, that value is used to populate the auto-pay timesheet line organization. If a default organization is not assigned to the employee on the Default tab of the Manage Employee Information screen, the employee's home organization from the Manage Employee Salary Information screen is used to populate the auto-pay timesheet line organization. If no default can be found on either the Manage Employee Information screen or the Manage Employee Salary Information screen, the organization default provided on the Create Auto-Pay Timesheets screen is used to populate the auto-pay timesheet line organization.
• If a default pay type is specified on the Default tab of the Manage Employee Information screen, that value is used to populate the auto-pay timesheet line account. If a default pay type is not assigned to the employee on the Default tab of the Manage Employee Information screen, the default pay type provided on the Create Auto-Pay Timesheets screen is used to populate the auto-pay timesheet line pay type.
• All other default values for the auto-pay timesheet line come from the Default tab of the Manage Employee Information screen and the Manage Employee Salary Information screen.
• If you are a multi-state Payroll user (the Enable Multi-State Tax Withholding check box is selected on the Manage Pay Periods screen) and a default project, account, organization and pay type are assigned on either the Manage Employee Information screen or the Manage Employee Salary Information screen, the withholding state defaults from the Manage Employee Taxes screen. If the project, account, organization and pay type default from the Create Auto-Pay Timesheets screen, Costpoint obtains the withholding state using the following levels of default:
  • Manage Employee Project Timesheet Defaults
  • Manage Employee Proj-Acct-Group Timesheet Defaults
  • Manage Labor-Group Proj-Acct-Group Timesheet Defaults
  • Manage Project Timesheet Defaults
  • Manage Employee Taxes
