• The project labor category is taken from the input file.
• The default value is assigned as follows:

  Costpoint first uses the transaction project's setup to determine which project is used to default the PLC. If the transaction project has the Use Top Level Work Force checkbox selected on the Manage Project User Flow, the program uses the transaction project's top level.

  If the transaction project's Use Top Level Work Force checkbox is not selected, Costpoint then determines whether a source project is assigned to the transaction project. If a source project exists in the first row of the Manage Rate Sequence Order table, the program uses that source project to determine the PLC default value.

  If the Use Top Level Work Force checkbox is not selected and no source project exists for the transaction project, the program uses the transaction project to determine the PLC default value.

  • The first level of PLC default is the Assign PLC to Employee Work Force subtask of the Manage Employee Work Force screen. If the project and employee exist in this screen, the PLC with a default value of Y is inserted into the transaction. This screen is used as a basis for default whether or not the Project Work Force Required checkbox is selected on the Manage Project User Flow. If the program finds a PLC default value, the search ends here. If not, the process continues.
  • If the project's Project Work Force Required checkbox is selected on the Manage Project User Flow, the search for a PLC default value ends here. If the checkbox is not selected, the program searches non-work force related screens for a PLC default value.
  • If the transaction project, the employee, and a PLC default value exist in the Manage Project Timesheet Defaults screen, the PLC in this screen is inserted into the transaction and the default process end here. If no PLC default exists in this screen, the process continues.
  • If the transaction project's account group, the employee, and a PLC default value exist in the Employee Project/Account Group Timesheet Defaults screen, the PLC in this screen is inserted into the transaction and the default process ends here. If no PLC default exists in this screen, the process continues.
  • If the transaction project's account group, the employee's labor group, and a PLC default value exist in the Manage Labor-Group Proj-Acct-Group Timesheet Defaults screen, the PLC from this screen is inserted into the transaction and the default process ends here. If no PLC default exists in this screen, the process continues.
  • If the transaction project and a PLC default value exist in the Manage Project Timesheet Defaults screen, the PLC in this screen is inserted into the transaction and the default process ends here. If no PLC default exists in this screen, the process continues.
  • If the top level/source/transaction project, the transaction GLC, and a PLC default value exist on the Link GLC to Project PLC subtask of the Link Project Labor Categories to Projects screen, the PLC in this screen is inserted into the transaction and the default process ends here. If no PLC default exists in this screen, the process continues.
  • If the transaction GLC and a PLC default value exist in the Manage General Labor Categories screen, the PLC in this screen will be inserted into the transaction.
  • If a PLC is assigned to the employee in the Salary Info and History table as of the timesheet date, the PLC in that screen is inserted into the timesheet line. This is the last level of PLC default.
• The validations are as follows:
  • Costpoint determines whether or not a PLC is required for the transaction. If no project exists on the transaction, a PLC is not required and the validation process ends without error. If a PLC does exist on the transaction, but no project is specified, an error message prints. If a project exists and no error occurred, the validation process continues to step b.
  • If the Project Work Force Required checkbox is selected for the project on the Manage Project User Flow, the work force validations are done. Costpoint uses the appropriate project (top level, source, or transaction) to validate the employee against the work force. If the employee is not assigned to the appropriate work force, an error message prints. If the employee is assigned to the appropriate work force, the validation process continues to the next step.
  • If the top level/source/transaction project does not exist in Link Project Labor Categories to Projects screen, the validation process ends without error. If the project does not exist in Link Project Labor Categories to Projects screen, it means that all PLCs are linked to that project. If the project does exist in the Link Project Labor Categories to Projects screen, the validation process continues to the next step.
  • If the PLC field is blank, Costpoint determines the project/account combination's Project Account Group function. If the function is Labor, an error message prints to inform you that the PLC is required. If the function is not Labor, the validation process ends without error. If the PLC field is not blank, the validation process continues to the next step.
  • If the PLC field is not blank, the next step will depend on the project's Project Work Force Required checkbox on the Manage Project User Flow.
    • If the Project Work Force Required checkbox is selected for the project, the project/employee/PLC combination is validated against the Assign PLC to Employee Work Force subtask on the Project Employee Work Force screen. If the combination exists there, the validation process continues.
    • If the Project Work Force Required checkbox is not selected for the process ends here without error. If the combination does not exist in this table, Costpoint prints an error message. The project/PLC combination is validated against the Link Project Labor Categories to Projects table. If the combination exists there, the validation process ends here without error. If the combination does not exist in this table, the system prints an error message.
• Suspense Processing:
  • You must select a validation method relating to the Project Labor Category (PLC) in the Configure Timesheet Suspense Values screen to enable substitution for invalid data.
  • The program uses the PLC field in the Suspense Values group box of the Configure Timesheet Suspense Values screen to replace invalid data.

  • The Withholding State is taken from the Manage Labor-Group Proj-Acct-Group Timesheet Defaults screen if the timesheet project’s account group and the employee’s labor group are set up in that screen.
  • The Withholding State is taken from Manage Project Timesheet Defaults screen if the timesheet project is set up in that screen.
  • The Withholding State is taken from the Manage Employee Taxes screen.

  • If the employee has no home reference 2 number, there must be no reference 2 number (warning only).
• Suspense Processing: The program uses the Ref 2 field in the Suspense Values group box of the Configure Timesheet Suspense Values screen to replace invalid data.

• The Effective Billing Date is taken from the input file.
• If a PLC exists on the timesheet line and no effective bill date is specified in the input file, the effective bill date is set to the last day of the specified accounting period.
• If you are processing a C type (Correcting) timesheet, and a PLC exists on the timesheet line, and no effective bill date is specified in the input file, and the Use Reference Date in Correcting Timesheets checkbox is selected in the Effective Bill Date Options group box in the Configure Labor Settings screen, the ref date from the input file defaults.
• If the Use Reference Date in Correcting Timesheets checkbox is not selected or you are processing an R type (Regular) or B type (Bonus) timesheet, the Default Method from the Effective Bill Date Options group box in the Configure Labor Settings screen is used to determine the effective bill date default. If the effective bill date Default Method is Subperiod End Date, the last day of the timesheet header subperiod defaults when you enter a valid PLC. Otherwise, if the effective bill date Default Method is Timesheet Date, the timesheet date defaults when you enter a valid PLC. You can edit the date, but it is not validated. This field is required if a PLC is specified on the timesheet line.
