Friends.

Below is a very common error which users always wonder about when trying to create and submit their time sheets in Microsoft dynamics AX 2009 PSA module.

“Timesheet Periods have not been created for: 2000” , where 2000 is the logged in employee. The warning message is as shown below.

Issue : This error comes when there are no time sheet periods defined for the employee.

Solution : Follow the below steps to resolve this issue and be able to enter time sheets.

  1. Navigate to Basic > Employee details form.
  2. Select the employee record for which the error is thrown. ( Employee 2000 in this case).
  3. Click the Setup tab.
  4. Verify that a Period code is set up for this employee. If this is not setup already , you have to set a period code by selecting one from the look up.
  5. Then right-click on the period code , and click Go to the main form.
  6. Then, click the Update employee periods button.
  7. Give a suitable start and end date ( say 01/01/2011..06/30/2011) and click OK button.
  8. Click the Update time sheet periods button.
  9. Give a suitable start and end date ( say 01/01/2011..06/30/2011) and click OK button.
  10. Finally click the Show time sheet periods button and verify that there are records created for the time sheet periods for the period code attached to the Employee.

This will fix the error above and the user will be able to enter time sheets then.I will be happy to recommend solution any other issues in PSA related to time sheets.

Thanks, Keep DAXING :)

    Hi sandeep,

    could you pls explain me what the major difference and purpose between internal ,time and cost projects with any small example.

    why should we use time and cost projects ?
    can we map those usage in internal project directly?

    thanks in advance,
    kiran kumar

      Hi Kiran,

      Hope the below works for you.

      Cost projects : Your organization constructs a swimming pool in a hospital community which you are builging for a multinational hospital. Your customer dont want you to charge them for this work. In such a case you may wish to create and maintain a cost project to track the cost involved in the construction of the swimming pool.

      Internal project : The Project manager of your company wants to track the cost of all the recruitement activities of the company for doing the above project. He may wish to user an Internal project. I would say Cost and Internal projects works more or less in same way. One important thing to note about a cost project is, it may be treated similiar to a short term investment project but the cost cannot be capitalized here.

      Finally the time projects are used to track the non productive hours primarily such as the Sick leaves, Holidays etc.

      Let me know if you need more clarification on these.

      Thanks
      Sandeep
