PS2003 - Adding multiple ways to split time on timesheet

T

TroyS

I realize this is pie-in-the-sky, but i'll ask anyway...

I have a PS2003 environment and have manufacturing processes and multiple
shift work for labor.

For payroll and financial reporting purposes, we have various buckets to use
such as Regular Shift, Regular 2nd shift, Regular 3rd shirt, Regular OT, 2nd
Shift OT, 3rd Shift OT...you see where this is going. There are probably 15
buckets depending on the 3 shifts.

In PWA Timesheets i have only Actual Work and Actual Work OT
I could set up Task level fields to say a Task (and Resource Assignment)
belongs to Regular Shift or 3rd Shift OT, but that doesn't allow me to use
one task + resources and split the time entered into multiple buckets beyond
the Actual Work or Actual Work Overtime and Task Flag.

For example, if i work 12hours on a task in a day but my work on that task
didn't start right away during my normal shift and my work on that task goes
into the next shift, i want to be able to say:
4h on Regular Shift (Actual Work)
4h on Regular 2nd Shift (Actual Work)
2h on 2nd Shift OT (Actual Work Overtime)

I want to avoid having to set up 3 separate tasks with a separate Task Field
flag as this is essentially the same task.

Of course the list of buckets is quite larger than what i have alluded to
making the duplicate Task name/Scheduling grow quite burdensome.

Was wondering if anyone has any ideas, has encountered similarly or will
verify that this can't be done... or any other suggestions are welcomed as
well ...
thx.

Troy:

I suspect that you'd have a difficult time finding a well-developed
timekeeping system that could support this. Project Server 2003 is
definitely not a timekeeping system, however you probably could build this
using the 2007 timesheets as a starting point, provided that you are willing
to invest in some custom development.
