For all kinds of financial analysis reasons. Especially for companies that are heavy T&M and are doing an analysis on their markup buildout of which certain items are covered only by ST costs. Getting this information at the GL level is much easier than trying to pull reports from payroll as sometimes these reports are too limited to get what you really need. Especially if trying to pull info at the financial reporting (cost center) levels. Speaking of job cost, the job cost history report doesn't even identify if the time worked is ST, OT or DT. We had to customize the report to show this information and their is no way to filter the reports just for ST, OT or DT or any other pay types for that matter. On the few that doe show Regular and Overtime, they dump OT & DT together so you can't see them separately.
We have a work around with the departments but would depend on how each company is using theirs if they could do the same thing. We setup three department codes for each department. For example, 5W is setup with the labor going to the GL code for ST Hours. Then we setup 5W-O with the labor going to the GL code for OT Hours. 5W-D for DT. Then for every OT entry, we make sure the dept is the 5W-O, etc... Of course this is a manual process so we also had to create other reports to catch anything that was entered incorrectly so it could be fixed prior to processing.
I am not understanding why one would want to do this?
We already have reports in Job Cost and Payroll that break out regular time from overtime. What is the business issue here?
Would you help me understand this one?
