Setting Up the Integration

Open API Custom Integration Security Group

• In order to send the timecard information from the Timerack Portal to TempWorks, users utilizing the Timerack integration will need to be a member of an Open API Custom Integrations Security Group for Timerack.

Timerack Client Key

• To ensure the integration and the export is working correctly, a new Timerack Client Key will need to be added to each Primary Customer record that will be included within the integration via Customer > Custom Data > Timerack Client Key.

Timerack Employee Pin

Employees utilizing the Timerack integration will be provided a 6-digit numerical pin that is used for time punches.

• This pin is set to the dayof the month of birth followed by the last four digits of the employee's SSN.
  • For example, an employee with a birthday of April 7th and an SSN of 111-11-2345 would have a pin of 072345.

In the event you want to set an override for the employee's pin, you can do so by navigating to Beyond > Employee > Custom Data > Timerack Employee Pin Override:

• The override can be set to any combination of 6 numerical digits.
• Once the override is setup within Beyond, the value will then be automatically communicated to Timerack.

You can also conduct an employee enhanced search within Beyond to find employees that have pin overrides:

Import Troubleshooting

After sending the timecards to TempWorks, you can check the status of the import from the "Payroll History" screen in Timerack. It’s possible that there were errors and some of the timecards failed to create:

The following are the errors you might see in Timerack when checking the status of an import:

• Error: “You can not insert master table data into the system at this hierarchy level.”
  • Resolution: The service rep is at a hierarchy that does not allow creating timecards. Change hierarchy to the appropriate hierarchy level and re-send the timecards.
• Error: “The Assignment with an Id of 123 could not be found or is not currently visible.”
  • Resolution: The service rep cannot see the assignment from their current hierarchy. Change hierarchy to the appropriate hierarchy level and re-send the timecards.
• Error: “The Assignment with an Id of 123 has a status that does not allow timecards to be created."
  • Resolution: The assignment has a status like “Deleted/Mistakenly Entered” that does not allow creating timecards. Change the assignment status to a status that allows creating timecards (for example, “Complete”) and re-send the timecards.
• Error: “There are currently no open weeks visible.”
  • Resolution: The import creates timecards for the current open week, so if there are no open weeks no timecards will be created.
