PS: Custom Settings

Section Item Value Module and Purpose
PersonnelScheduling AllowTicketsInShiftDetails Yes This setting displays the Ticket column in the Shift Details for the Working schedule in the PS Schedules window.
The Ticket column never displays in the Master Schedule, even when this custom setting is used.
After the PS Wizard has been processed, each work ticket in PS Details flows to Timekeeping. You cannot edit the work ticket after the PS Wizard has been processed. When you insert a shift, the new shift does not copy the work ticket number from the shift being copied.
PersonnelScheduling BillCodeMarkup Yes In the Bill Code Categories, Category Detail entries can be linked to existing Category Detail entries within the same Bill Code Category. A Parent Invoice Description is available for selection when the custom setting is entered. The Parent Invoice Description combo contains all Invoice Descriptions under the Category Details which do not have a Parent Invoice Description set. This prevents a parent, child, grandchild relationship.
Once a parent has been selected for a Category Details Invoice Description, a Bill Rate Multiplier is available for use on Bill Codes by job. The Invoice Details grid will display the parent child relationship set up in Bill Code Categories when adding a new Bill Category or when adding the parent Invoice Description to the Invoice Details grid. Changes to the Bill Code Category are not automatically reflected in the Invoice Details grid, a new entry must be created.
PersonnelScheduling ConflictsNotAllowed Yes PS Schedules
