TimesheetRetrieve Method Can't Differentiate the Admin Sched and Lunch Break

Post by sunny » Thu May 14, 2020 2:57 am

Hi,

Our legacy code using the simpro API with method of "TimesheetRetrieve" and it return an object like this:

Admin Sched:
array (size=11)
'EmployeeID' => int 1908
'Date' => string '2020-05-07' (length=10)
'StartTime' => string '7:00am' (length=6)
'ISO8601Start' => string '2020-05-07T07:00:00+08:00' (length=25)
'EndTime' => string '7:30am' (length=6)
'ISO8601End' => string '2020-05-07T07:30:00+08:00' (length=25)
'JobNo' => string '' (length=0)
'TotalHours' => float 0.5
'PayrollCategory' => string 'Normal Time' (length=11)
'BlockTextColor' => string '' (length=0)
'Cost' => float 24.5
Lunch Break:
array (size=11)
'EmployeeID' => int 1908
'Date' => string '2020-05-08' (length=10)
'StartTime' => string '12:45pm' (length=7)
'ISO8601Start' => string '2020-05-08T12:45:00+08:00' (length=25)
'EndTime' => string '1:15pm' (length=6)
'ISO8601End' => string '2020-05-08T13:15:00+08:00' (length=25)
'JobNo' => string '' (length=0)
'TotalHours' => float 0.5
'PayrollCategory' => string 'Normal Time' (length=11)
'BlockTextColor' => string '' (length=0)
'Cost' => float 24.5

Hello Sunny,

We don't give any title or type to a schedule block. Only way to differentiate blocks is through their PayrollCategory.

Not through old API but with our Rest API it's possible to add schedule rates. Please follow the documentation link below.

Hi Muqueet,

Can we please request to include the "scheduletype" of the timesheet on the return object of the old API method "TimesheetRetrieve" , is that possible?

Old api is in maintenance mode only, we do not introduce new features in it.
