| 4decimal | |
| 4decimal |
Our On-Costs feature is part of our Advanced Billing module if you would like this module enabled please speak to our Client Account Management Team.
We have developed on-costs and extended the precision from 2 decimals places to 4. This can be set within all entities where on-costs can be applied, and can be set within Sales and Purchase on-costs. This will then calculate your timesheets and expenses to 4 decimal places. Please note that RSM InTime's invoices and the margin report will still round to 2 decimal places.
Bespoke Contractor Dashboards Anchor contractordashboard contractordashboard
| contractordashboard | |
| contractordashboard |
We have introduced a new feature allowing you to have different custom text homepages for specific groups of contractors, this gives you greater flexibility on the information you want to provide your contractors with. This is controlled by applying a specific financial tag to your custom text screen, then applying the appropriate financial tag to your contractor. You will have the ability to create multiple bespoke custom text screens.
If you would like this feature enabled please get in touch with our Client Account Management Team.
How does it work?
Make sure you have your financial tags set up in the first instance.
Custom Text Screen Steps:
Click on the System Configuration Cog in the top righthand corner, within the Appearance panel click on Custom Text
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select Worker Dashboard under the Dashboard heading. Create your custom text.
If you wish to have the dashboard widgets available please make sure you enter [summary] below your custom text.
Untick visible to all users and select the appropriate tag value. Click Save Template.
You will see all custom text screens you have set up under the dashboard panel.
Any contractor with the same financial tag will see the appropriate custom text screen.
The custom text worker dashboards can be deleted or edited. Workers without any financial tags, will get the default worker dashboard without custom text. You can also can the worker's financial tag and this will chance their custom text screen accordingly.
Exporting financial data from InTime to InPay Anchor SendLocation SendLocation
| SendLocation | |
| SendLocation |
If you are using our PAYE Module, we have now given you the ability to align your location/department data from RSM InTime. This information can be updated when your timesheets or expenses are exported, thus streamlining your processes and minimising errors. If you aren't using our PAYE Module and wish to know more the Client Account Management Team will be happy to help.
Please note if you have a front office integration you will need to assess your mappings from your CRM into RSM InTime in the first instance.
You have the option of using our default mapping or having a customisable script, either option will be set up initially by our Support Team.
Default Mapping is as follows:
| RSM InTime Placement | InPay Location |
|---|---|
| Start Date | Start Date |
| Sales Division | Division |
| Sales Department | Department |
| Sales Location | Location |
| N/A | Cost Centre splits |
| N/A | Department Splits |
Using the Placement's Financial Tab, and set up the appropriate values within the fields below. This data will be transferred to InPay when you export a timesheet or expense for that placement.
You will then be able to see these within InPay by going to Employees - Location Details, and search for that worker. You will see that the Start Date, Location, Division and Department has been populated.
If you wish to use a customisable script, this will give you the ability to set split values for Departments and Cost centres as well. The Support Team will assist with this.
On the Placement's Financial tab you can add Sales Department and Sales Cost Centre codes.
You will then be able to see these within InPay by going to Employees - Location details, and search for that worker. Not only will you see that the Start Date, Location, Division and Department has been populated, but the Department splits and Cost Centre splits will also been shown according to the customisation you have set up.
Click Financial tags to learn more about what they can do for your RSM InTime instance.

Reverting a timesheet
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
When saving a timesheet after reverting and deleting a shift within the timesheet, you may have noticed an error message displayed as "something went wrong on the server or your session timed out."
We have included a validation for the deleted shift into the auditing process and you will no longer see this message.
Warning / Error Message now displays in the new Placement Screen
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

If you use filters within your placements on the Advanced Tab, you may have noticed that there was no error message for blank entries.

Our Client Account Management Team will be happy to help should you want more information.

If you have the function Effective dates on rates enabled, you may have noticed an error message of "NullPointerException error" when importing timesheets without an effective default rate. The message will now be displayed as “Placement does not have specified rate” within the Error column. This provides a more meaningful error message.

Timesheet Status change when additional InPay exports are attempted Anchor Timesheetstatus Timesheetstatus
| Timesheetstatus | |
| Timesheetstatus |
You may have noticed if you attempted to export a timesheet that has already been exported into InPay, the status of that timesheet would change from Exported to Approved. This situation can arise when the same timesheet is selected for export in multiple bowser windows or by multiple users at the same time whilst it is still in Approved status.
This has been rectified and the status of the timesheet remains "Exported." You will also receive a notification advising you that you have tried to re-export an exported timesheet.
Field permission restrictions are removed if there's a validation error Anchor Field permission restrictions Field permission restrictions
| Field permission restrictions | |
| Field permission restrictions |
You may have noticed that if a validation error occurred when Administrators and Consultant users with Read-Only rights were trying to update a field within a profile, it allowed all fields to be edited.

For more information on how to can restrict a user's access within InTime look at User Roles .

When raising a single adjustment invoice without an associated timesheet, you may have noticed that if you have selected a different VAT code to that of the entity, the adjustment invoice displays T1 VAT. This was applicable to Clients, Workers and Providers.

If you have a contractor with a currency other than GBP, you may have noticed when manually creating a placement that the rate section currency has not automatically defaulted to the contractor's currency, and instead has stayed as GBP.
