10 new fields instead of 5 in menu Company--> Other fields

Post by bonhomme »

Is that possible to add 5 more id fields of type "Employee" in other fields "sub menu" of company. We would like to have the possibilities to add children for employee is that possible?

Unfortunately not without modifying the database tables as well.

That's our big problem we just encounter while still trying Timetrex here for the Netherlands Antilles. till now is the only drawback found in the application regarding the tax system. How can we get that issue resolved? Even if we have to come to an agreement.

We would need to know in detail exactly what you are trying to do. If it has to do with the tax system, using custom fields in the employee record likely isn't the proper solution, but its hard to say. What are the other 4 custom fields being used for?

Hallo Shauw,

Thank you for the answer. We have a consulting company here in The Netherlands Antilles which is a group of 5 Islands with the same tax system. Timetrex has been presented with great success to our clients and their interest is growing in getting the software. The only problem we have is to present a yearly report for each employee with children included. For each child six fields would be needed. Employee should have 1 to 5 children so only the Employee type should be altered. we would need the existing 5 fields of that type plus the above mentioned.

So if an employee has 5 children, you would need 30 fields in total? What would the name of all these fields be?

Is this strictly for tax purposes? If so it would make more sense to create a proper tax module in TimeTrex that would allow for all the proper data entry.

What we actually needs are fields to enter children data those fields will be displayed at the beginning of each year as follow.
NB. I think it will be better to have in the menu a title named “ Children benefits” with labels as

Family name Nam Birth date Address Studies Category Amount

And after filling that form it can be linked to specific employee.
Normal at the beginning of the year the report will show those data for the fisc.
A name should be provide as in the case of tax/deduction for each form.

Yeah, it sounds like a new module should be developed to handle such information, unfortunately this is quite a bit of work to do.

I understand you Shauw but it worth the afford considering the interest of companies here for the professional edition with the clock. I think we should find a way to answer to that demand.
