      These fields apply for the Time sheet integration:

      • Payable invoice batch liability interface: This field must be set to Jobpac to allow access to the required Jobpac integration settings in the Time Sheet Manager. (as below).
      • Time sheet Cost Type: You can set this to match the Cost Types in Jobpac. This is not a mandatory field. 
      • Click Save and Close.

      Tip: Multiple Time Sheet Cost Types can be entered, separated by a semi colon.

        Import Time Sheet Users from Jobpac

        You are able to import employees from Jobpac.

        This will create new Time Sheet Users where a User or Staff record does not exist in Lentune. It will match based on the Code/Employee Number and Description/Full Name.

        Tip: Your administrator must then grant the new Users the required Security roles / groups, assign a Branch, and complete the details for their email address and other details. They cannot log in and use Lentune until this is done. Refer to Add a new Lentune User for details.

         

        To import employees:
