Rate Override

An employee or supervisor may be able to use the cell comments dialog box to overwrite the rates used in the calculation.

An employee can modify the rate if the Modify option is selected in the User-Defined Rates area of Manage Timesheet Classes, Basic Information tab screen for the class to which the employee belongs.

A supervisor can modify the rate if the Modify Charges option is selected in the General Rights area of the Basic Information tab on the Manage Functional Roles screen for the supervisor's functional role.

Once the rate is changed, click Calculate to recalculate the amount.

The TS_CELL table stores the source of the rates in the s_rate1_cd and s_rate2_cd columns. The values are:

  • N - None
  • C - Charge Tree
  • E - Employee History
  • M - Manual Entry
  • 1 - Link17/Wildcard
  • 2 - Link27/Wildcard
  • 7 - UDT07
