Generate Time Cards Enhancement
Generate people's time cards for a period based on search criteria. You can now schedule recurring Generate Time Card processes. When a process runs, the search criteria determines who to create time cards for, without any limitation on the number of people included. Each process generates the time cards for the period intersecting the specified date, the current period, or the next period. Current and next periods are determined from the system date when a process runs.
Project Costing Validation of Time Card Entries Enhancement
Validate new or changed time card entries for Project Costing. Previously, all Project Costing time card entries were validated, regardless if they had changed. With this enhancement, you can now continue to validate all entries, or only the changed entries.
Responsive Time Card Approval Enhancement
Approve time cards for your direct reports and their direct reports. Previously, you could approve time cards for only your direct reports. Now you can approve for 2 levels in the HR supervisor hierarchy.
Data Security Policy for Time Card Management
Apply a data security policy dedicated to Time and Labor for time card management. For example, you have someone who is both a time and labor manager and HR manager. For one group of people, the person manages time cards. For another group, the person only provides HR management. The new time data security policy limits that person's time card access to only the group that the person manages time cards for. The person can't see the time cards for the group they only provide with HR management.
Also replace the Person Name choice list from the classic create time card flow with the common HR REST list of values when a time and labor data security policy is enabled. Otherwise the standard classic list of values still displays.
