Description

Equipment/Employee Home Department Inference

The inference of the Equipment/Employee Home Department field on the Header tab of the Internal Costing Usage Transaction (ICT) transaction is controlled by one of three settings: Infer from Transaction Department, Infer from User’s Home Department, and No Inference.

This field works in tandem with Permit Duplicate Equipment/Employee IDs Across Departments. If the Permit Duplicate Equipment/Employee IDs Across Departments field is true, then the Equipment/Employee Home Department Inference field can be set to any valid value. If the Permit Duplicate Equipment/Employee IDs Across Departments field is false, then the Equipment/Employee Home Department Inference field must be No Inference.

Get Rates from Employee Benefits Multiplier

The inference of the Employee Benefit Rates during the Internal Costing Chain system process is controlled by this field. When true, the Employee Benefit Rates (1-5) from the effective-dated Employee Benefits Rate (EMPBM) page are used to calculate Employee Benefit Costs (1-5) during the costing process. When false, the Employee Benefit Rates from the Internal Cost Rate (INCR) page are used to calculate the Employee Benefit Costs during costing process.

Materials Testing Class Inference Indicator

When true, if an Internal Costing Usage Transaction (ICT) records usage of the Usage Group Materials Testing then transaction will infer the Usage Class from the Materials Testing Class Inference (MATIN) page. Transaction fields for Materials Testing Department and Materials Testing Program are required for that inference.

When false, then Materials Testing Class Inference setup will not be used for Materials Class inference, even if properly set up.

Mileage Rate

The standard rate for all mileage across, which must be greater than zero. During the Internal Costing process, the value entered in this field is used for costing mileage usage.

Permit Duplicate Equipment/Employee IDs Across Departments

When true, more than one Department is allowed to use the same Equipment or Employee ID.

Require Overtime Multiplier

When true, the Overtime Multiplier field on Internal Costing Usage Transactions (ICT) transaction related to Labor Usage is required.

Usage Date Inference

When true, the Usage Dates on the Internal Costing Usage Transaction (ICT) are set to the Application Date if left blank.

When false, the Usage Dates must be supplied.

Validate Employee ID on EMPID

When true, the Employee ID being used on Internal Costing Usage Transaction (ICT) transaction will be validated against the Employee Information (EMPID) page.

When false, the Employee ID is not validated against the Employee Information page for all Usage Types, not just Labor.
