Beeline Time Entry (BTE) is used to manage online tracking and reporting of resource time within Beeline Enterprise. This document provides hiring managers and Program Office staff with the steps necessary to reprocess a BTE timesheet using classic Beeline Enterprise functionality.
Adjustments to timesheets can be made at any time. Changes to timesheets with the status of “submitted” or “approved” are handled through the amendment workflow process. Once a timesheet has been invoiced and its status updates to “locked”, then adjustments can only be made by reprocessing the timesheet.
BTE streamlines this process for the Program Office by providing easy access to your reprocess options directly from the Admin header menu in Beeline Enterprise. Adjustments to the selected timesheets are then processed during the following invoice cycle. When the final invoice is complete, the timesheet(s) will once again have a status of “locked” with an additional displayed status of: (reprocessed).
Common errors that require reprocessing include:
- Incorrect time
- Incorrect cost center
- Incorrect project
This content reflects non-client specific Beeline Enterprise functionality which may vary from what you see when logged into Beeline Enterprise depending on any client-specific settings or adjustments.
To reprocess a timesheet:
- Navigate to your Beeline Enterprise Home screen.
- Select Reprocess Timesheets listed under Admin > BTE Management in the Header Menu.
- Enter the required search criteria on the Reprocess Timesheets screen; then click Search.
- Select the timesheet(s) to be reprocessed by clicking the checkbox to the left of each timesheet in the results list.
- Select one of the following options displayed above the search criteria fields:
- Reprocess - Timesheet Update: This option places the timesheet in a “non-submitted” status so that corrections can be made. By saving the changes, the timesheet is updated to a “submitted” status and routes back through the approval process.
- Reprocess - Assignment Update: This option changes the status to “approved” and automatically routes the timesheet for inclusion in the next invoice process. This option is used when an amendment has been made to an assignment record (for example a cost center change) and the amended information needs to be updated on the timesheet so that both records match.
- Review the information displayed in the Timesheet Reprocess Confirmation window to confirm that you have selected the correct reprocess option.
- Enter a comment in the Comments box. Note: This is a required field.
- Select the Send Email Notification checkbox if desired. [optional feature]
- Click OK to authorize the reprocessing of your selected timesheet(s). The system will exit and return to the Reprocess Timesheets screen.
