==== Generating an E-timesheet ====

**Note** In order to create an E-timesheet, the following needs to be setup:
  * Under 'Maintenance -> General Settings -> Temps' ensure that **E Timesheets** is set to **Y**

To generate an E-timesheet against an order:
  * the client that the placement is with has to be set to accept E-timesheets.  This is done under the **Accounts** section of the client, ensure that **E-timesheets** is ticked.  If this is not ticked, then traditional paper-based timesheets will be associated any placements with this client.
   * To create E-timesheets for a particular week, go to the tempdesk -> timesheets secion and click **Create** or **Create E-timesheets**. If there are timesheets due for vacancies where the client is set to accept E-timesheets, an etimesheet will be generated, with the timesheet number prefixed with an **E** and text appearing in bold red font. This will not work from anywhere else - it must be this tab.
  * If the client is **not** set to receive E-timesheets, then a standard provisional timesheet will appear in bold blue font.


== I have tried to generate an E-timesheet, but a blue provisional timesheet has been created, what has happened? ==

Things to check are:
  * Has the client been set to accept E-timesheets?
  * Have Client and Invoice Address records been set with an address and post code?
  * Are there pay rates that use a script associated with the vacancy/placement?
  * Does the candidate have all of their payroll information completed? This includes bank account information, NI information and date of birth?
  * If the candidate has no payroll number the first timesheet must be completed manually, to check all details and issue a payroll number, then deleted so that an E-Timesheet will be generated.

Once this has been checked, expand the blue provisional timesheet and delete.  Then click **Create E-timesheets** - an E-timesheet for the placement in question will then be generated.
