Define Cost Level Security Profile

This window provides the ability for Standard Users to approve transactions for employees, who have times allocated to only those cost levels for which the Standard Users are responsible, via the Group Approval Wizard, and also the Costed Roster functionality.

Prerequisites

Rules and Guidelines

  • The Cost Level Security is based on the cost level structure which is assigned to the User Profile set on the Advanced User Setting screen's Cost Level Security Profile field. The field's default method of 'S' provides access to employee time transactions (for the Group Approval Wizard and Costed Roster functionality) based on the standard Group Approval processing within the system.
  • When the Cost Level Security Profile method is set to 'C', the specified user is allowed to access only the employee time transactions (for the Group Approval Wizard drill down to Time Editor and Costed Roster) whose times have been assigned to the cost levels criteria allocated in the Cost Level Profile.
  • Field headings can be changed using the Time User Code window.

  • Note that regardless of the Time Mapping, this screen uses Levels 1 - 5 for the prompt lists values while uses the mapped values for the prompt list for Levels 6 - 7.
