Auto-Populate Timesheets from Plan Assignments
Description:
How does one Auto-Populate Timesheets from Plan Assignments?
 
Resolution:
 
In Settings > Time > Options select the AUTO POPULATE FROM PLAN ASSIGNMENTS option.
 
Data from a project plan will automatically populate a timesheet if all of the following apply:
  • A project has the following settings specified in the Projects hub:
    • The Status field in the Summary pane is set to Active or Inactive.
    • The Approved for Use in Processing check box on the Accounting tab is selected.
  • A project is included in utilization. For information on which projects are included in utilization, see Resource Utilization Calculation (https://help.deltek.com/Product/Vantagepoint/3.5/ST_Settings_RP_UtilizationCalculation.html?scroll=GUID-4DE667CF-09CA-45C9-8E73-28FC2711A2D9).
  • The employee has planned hours that fall within the timesheet period. For example, if an employee has planned hours on Project B from 8/1/2017–8/15/2017 and the timesheet periods are weekly, then timesheets will be populated with Project B data for 7/31/2017–8/6/2017, 8/7/2017– 8/13/2017, and 8/14/2017–8/20/2017.
Important Note:
  • When Treat Inactive Projects as Dormant is selected on this tab, only data from active projects/plans are populated on timesheets.
  • If an employee who is charging time to a project is removed from that project, timesheet entries for that project are not automatically reversed on the timesheet.
  • Timesheets auto-populate with plan data only when an employee opens their own timesheet. Timesheets are not auto-populated when an administrator opens an employee's timesheet.
