TimeControl can create a transaction file in many formats and then place that file in a place where the Finance, Payroll or ERP system can consume it and ensure that any data coming in is going through their systems business rules. Transaction File Interfaces are the most popular method of linking to or from a Finance or ERP system as CFOs can be reluctant to direct connect their Finance system with direct input or output. Here are some of the tools that you can consider when building TimeControl into the center of your data universe. TimeControl is known for having pre-built integration to more project and cost control systems than any other timesheet in the industry but the integration doesn’t stop there. That’s why the integration and interface abilities of TimeControl are such an important aspect of its functionality. The challenge that TimeControl answers is having a single source of auditable timesheet data that can be used for multiple purposes and multiple systems at once. We encounter this worst-case nightmare all the time. It’s hard enough to get people to fill in one timesheet in a week, imagine having to fill out two or three or more. The worst-case scenario is finding an organization that is trying to support more than one timesheet system at a time. As soon as you must consider a project or estimating or cost control or government compliance system, you have to think about the timesheets that will drive the actuals. Big ERP vendors will promote doing everything under their umbrella but that’s not always practical for operational systems. We see such diagrams virtually every week.įor many organizations, becoming more effective requires integrating systems from many sources. When you publish a multi-functional timesheet like TimeControl, it should be no surprise to see a conceptual data diagram that includes all the places timesheet data might be used or which might integrate with other corporate systems.
