For Wand the report doesn’t have to be created or edited as it will pull in the correct format, however, web automation does not work in the Cert environment. For testing purposes, the report will be manually run and imported into Cert.

.

The following window will pop-up for initial information to be entered so the template can be created.

Enter the Template Name. This field will help your team to know what file they are reviewing and help the Bullhorn team if any troubleshooting is required. As such, the name should include your company name (or an abbreviation) and the name of the VMS and the client.

Enter the Customer Associations which is the client ID from the ATS that correspond to the clients/employees that are included in the file from Wand.

Select the Source of Wandpro.

Select Create.


Image Placeholder


The template will now show up as a new pop-up window. At the top there are tabs that determine how the template will function.

File Processing Tab

On the File Processing tab enter the Start Date, this can be left blank for testing if desired, but is critical for ensuring time for weeks prior to the transition to Bullhorn do not get duplicated when moving an existing client into Exchange. The Start Date should be the first date for which you do not want to load time.

Select an Approval Status Type. This should be left as Peoplenet Approval Status unless you need to see status changes such as Approved to Invoiced as these will not show since they are both considered approved.

For the Auto Process Employee Matches the Match Types should be set to Full Name Without Middle Initial. This will allow this system to match employees from the VMS file to employees under that customer ID if they have the same name. If there are more than one employee with the same name, then the system will only suggest a match for a person to manually confirm.

Auto Process Assignment Matches should remain checked as one-to-one. This will allow employees that have been matched on the employee level to have their assignments match if there is only one assignment in both the VMS and in Bullhorn. If there is more than one assignment in either system, then the system will suggest an assignment match, but it will need to be confirmed by a person prior to any time loading.

Auto Process for Matched Items should be checked as this will allow any time in the file for matched employees to process into BTE when the file uploads. ***Note: When first testing or loading time this option may be turned off to allow review and confirmation of hours prior to moving to BTE to confirm testing is accurate.

OT Reconciliation should be unchecked as this option does not work for Wand.

Ignore Pay Record Sent and Reset Pay Record Sent should be checked if you are allowing time corrections (CPA) to process from BTE into your payroll system. If time corrections will be manually entered into the payroll system these should not be checked. **NOTE: These do NOT need to be checked if you are using Bullhorn One.

Report Settings

On the Report Settings tab, the details of the reports will be entered.

Select Report then select the Default Report then change the name of Default Report that populates into the Report Name to Billing Line Item Report. If there is more than one wand report that will load to the template add ~ and the customer name to the end of the report name (Examplet: Billing Line Item Report~ABC Company.

Delivery Type select Manual. The template will be set to manual only for the time the template is in Cert. Once it gets moved to production this will be updated to Web Automation.

Leave Upload Path, Approval Type, and Approval Date as they default.

Mapping Code select Wand Pro.

Import rules do not need to be selected for Wand.

An email can be entered under the Error Email so that if there is an error with the file that email will be notified.

Schedule

Select the sub-tab Schedule to enter the expected schedule of the file. Select the correct Time Zone.

Select the Day and Time the file is expected to be received using


Image Placeholder


to add additional days and times. For Wand, it will use Web Automation so the schedule entered will determine when the file will run. We recommend running it daily so add a schedule for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and the appropriate time.

Enter a Window Start and Window End meaning the number of hours before and after the arrival time. This means that if the file is expected at 3:00 AM and the Start and End windows both are 2:00:00 then the system will check if the file is received between 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM (2 hours before 3:00AM and 2 hours after 3:00AM) and create an error if a file is not received.


Image Placeholder


***Note: If setting up a template in production use the instructions under Adding Web Automation instead of setting to manual upload.

Template Settings Tab

The Owner field can be updated to select the admin that will be responsible for processing the files for this client or tool. This is particularly helpful if you have multiple admin’s working in Exchange to process files. If only one admin will be working in the system to process all the files, then this field can remain as Not Assigned.

Exception Processing Tab

On the Exception Processing tab, each exception type can be set to one of the following:

  • Ignore: No action required when this exception type is received, and there will be no changes made to the timesheet.

  • Load if Pay Record not Sent: No action required when this exception type is received, if the initial time loaded has not been sent to the payrolling system then the update to the hours/status will be loaded to BTE. **NOTE: This is not used for Bullhorn One.

  • Always Load: No action required when this exception type is received, the update to the hours/status will automatically load to BTE regardless of whether the pay record has been sent.

  • Manual Resolution: The exception will require review at which point the person can decide if it should be processed to BTE or Ignored which will leave the hours/status in BTE unchanged.

Duplicate Time Card: Set to Ignore as there is no update to the time or status.

Time Adjustment Only: If corrections will require a manual update in the payrolling system (not using Bullhorn 1), select Manual Resolution. Otherwise, either Always Load or Manual Resolution should be selected depending upon if the change in time should be reviewed prior to processing to BTE.

Approval Status Change Only: Select Always Load to automatically update the timesheet status from Pending to Approved. The hours will not be impacted with this exception.

Time and Approval Status Change: Should be set to the same processing type as a Time Adjustment Only.

Multiple time cards exception: This should be sent to Manual Resolution so a person can review and confirm it is additional time and not duplicate time. The exception can then be processed to add the time or ignored.

Time History Detail Load Failed: This should be set to Manual Resolution.

Time card is before start date: This should be set to either Manual Resolution or Ignore dependent upon if there are concerns about late time entry for week endings prior to the transition into Exchange.

Map Earn Codes Tab

The Map Earn Codes tab is not needed for Wand templates as the earn codes are already mapped accordingly.

Rate Reconciliation Tab

Rate Reconciliation can be used for Wand which will allow the system to compare the rate an employee has in the VMS with the rate the person was set up with in Bullhorn. This is helpful for preventing AR discrepancies that arise from rate differences. When the rates are different it will create an item on the Rate Reconciliation tab to be reviewed to determine which system needs to be updated. However, some margin of error costs more to correct and will be written off as a small balance so the system can automatically ignore those items. Enter the Margin of Error your company is comfortable with.

Leave Check Reg hours, Check OT hours, and Check DT hours checked.

Discount Source will depend on if the Assignment includes the discount. If the assignment does not include the discount, but this client does have a discount, select File template and enter the discount percent.


Image Placeholder


Resolution Settings Tab

The Resolution Settings tab can be used to set emails to send upon resolution of files by entering the Name, Email Address, selecting Contact Type, and checking Auto Send Resolutions Email. The message can be customized by entering information into the boxes at the bottom.

Once all updates are made to the template select Save & Close.

Exchange Test File Import

In the Exchange Cert Environment and Select


Image Placeholder

In the window that pops up select Choose File and locate the file downloaded. Then select the correct Template/File set up and select OK.

Image Placeholder

A confirmation window will appear at which point select OK again. It may take a few minutes for the file to show onto the File Activity tab.

Use the blue hyperlink of the File Template Name to review the details and process the file. **see file processing document (not yet created)

Once the file is complete another file can be run for additional submit dates to then process and review how the system handles the file.

Move to Production

After sufficient testing has been completed and it is time to migrate this client to production, the template will need to be exported from Cert. If you are implementing exchange for the first time, transferring the templates to production may be completed by your Implementation team. However, you will be responsible for updating the fields within each template if needed.

Log in to the Cert environment.

Select the templates for Export with the right-hand check boxes.

Select Export Templates.

A file will download to your computer.

Log in to the Production environment.

Select Import Template and browse to the file you downloaded.

The templates will appear in the new environment after you refresh the page.

You should review the new templates to make sure that the settings are appropriate for the new environment.

Adding Web Automation

Under the Report Settings change the Delivery Type to Web Automation. The Email Delivery option does not need to be filled out for Wand.

Select the Web Automation tab and enter the following:

Access URL – is the url for login to the VMS.

Username – is the username used to access the VMS.

Password – is the password for the account to access the VMS.

Additional – leave this blank.

Password Frequency – is the frequency in days before Exchange performs a password reset on the account. As passwords expire, the system will automatically update the password for the account at this frequency. If you set this to 0, the system will update the password every day. If you are looking to have the system NOT update the password, we recommend that you set it to 9999. This will instead change the password around every 27 years.

Current Password – must match Password. This is used for the password update feature.

Next Password – this is the next password that will be set for the system. When configuring a template, you need to add a new password. Once that is done, the system will begin generating random passwords moving forward.

Click + Add Security Question to store a security question. This may be used for a password reset.
