 Empty Rate field in timetracking query

When I run this query:

select txndate,entityreflistid,entityreffullname, ClassRefFullName,rate,durationminutes,payrollitemwagereffullname,payrollitemwagereflistid,notes from timetracking where txndate >= {d '2008-12-01'} and txndate <= {d '2008-12-31'} AND ( entityreflistid = '20D0000-957970645')

The rate field is always empty.

One of our state unemployment forms requires hours, payrate and wages separated by day of the week and the payrate for each day is not always the same.

I have been challenged by this for a long time.

Right now I'm using this query to extract the pay rate by matching the AmountRate from the query below to the payrollitemreffullname from the query above (instead of the preferred payrollitemreflistid that never changes):

sp_report PayrollSummary show AmountHours_Title, Label, AmountHours, AmountRate, Amount parameters Datefrom={d '2008-12-28'}, Dateto= {d '2009-01-03'}, SummarizeColumnsBy='Employee' , EntityFilterListIDs='20D0000-957970645'

But sometimes the rate field is also empty in the sp_report Payroll Summary.

HELP!

The "Rate" column is empty because it actually comes from the ItemServiceRefFullName used. See: Table Relations for TimeByName and TimeTracking

Oh. Thanks.

Select txndate,entityreflistid, durationminutes,payrollitemwagereffullname,payrollitemwagereflistid,notes from timetracking where txndate >= {d '2008-12-01'} and txndate <= {d '2008-12-31'}

gets this result

I need the payrate for each timetracking record (or line). Is that possible?

Try:

Select timetracking.txndate, timetracking.entityreflistid, timetracking.durationminutes,
timetracking.payrollitemwagereffullname, timetracking.payrollitemwagereflistid,
EmployeeEarning.PayrollInfoEarningsRate, timetracking.notes
from timetracking, EmployeeEarning
where timetracking.entityreflistid = EmployeeEarning.ListID
and timetracking.txndate >= {d '2008-12-01'} and timetracking.txndate <= {d '2008-12-31'}
and timetracking.payrollitemwagereflistid =
EmployeeEarning.PayrollInfoEarningsPayrollItemWageRefListID

Though that's a good statement for current pay periods, it will show current payrates with historical time data so that when someone gets a raise, the payrate data is no longer accurate for prior-to-the-raise time records.

Am I wrong?

Hey!, you said for you wanted a query for one of your state unemployment forms requires hours, payrate and wages separated by day of the week and the payrate for each day. Should be fine on the day. Don't forget Intuit doesn't want us doing anything to do with payroll. That's why the data links are not logical and the payroll tables are missing key data.

You need to go back to the standard Payroll Summary report:

sp_report PayrollSummary show AmountHours_Title, Label, AmountHours, AmountRate, Amount parameters DateMacro = 'Today', SummarizeColumnsBy='Employee'

or for a specific time period:

sp_report PayrollSummary show AmountHours_Title, Label, AmountHours, AmountRate, Amount parameters DateFrom = {d'2008-12-01'}, DateTo = {d'2008-12-31'}, SummarizeColumnsBy='Employee'

and look into why AmountRate is 0 sometimes!

Tom:

Select timetracking.txndate, timetracking.entityreflistid, timetracking.durationminutes,
timetracking.payrollitemwagereffullname, timetracking.payrollitemwagereflistid,
EmployeeEarning.PayrollInfoEarningsRate, timetracking.notes
from timetracking, EmployeeEarning
where timetracking.entityreflistid = EmployeeEarning.ListID
and timetracking.txndate >= {d '2008-12-01'} and timetracking.txndate <= {d '2008-12-31'}
and timetracking.payrollitemwagereflistid =
EmployeeEarning.PayrollInfoEarningsPayrollItemWageRefListID

is great code but when run for past periods, the payrate shown is always the employee's current payrate.

I will go back to the sp_report. That seems the best way to extract the info.

Thanks.
