HR Timesheet: Employee Cost from Contract
This module implements automatic computation of Employee Cost based on contracts.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0Automatically calculates each employee's hourly timesheet cost from their HR contracts, instead of typing it manually. You can choose the averaging policy (contract, annual or monthly) and switch individual employees back to a manual cost.
This module makes the hourly cost used to value timesheets come from the employee's contract instead of being typed by hand.
In Settings, under Timesheet Cost, you choose the company-wide policy: contract-wide average, annual average or monthly average, and whether manual cost is the default. On each employee you can tick 'Use manual Timesheet Cost' to enter a fixed rate; otherwise the cost is computed from the employee's open, pending or closed contracts that are valid on the date, ignoring contracts flagged 'Exclude from Employee Cost' on the contract form.
On a timesheet line, the 'Recompute Timesheeet Cost' action recalculates the amount from the employee's cost, the hours and the currencies. Unpaid leave is taken into account when working out the hours used in the average.
If you try to type a cost for an employee whose cost is contract-based, Odoo blocks it with an error message. The module touches hr.employee, hr.contract, account.analytic.line, res.company, res.config.settings and resource.calendar.leaves.

terminal Installation and usage
OCA documentation · Odoo 12.0Configuration
Source · Odoo 12.0No extra configuration is required, yet it is possible to exclude specific contract from the Employee Cost computation by marking the contact with "Exclude from Employee Cost" checkbox.
To change how cost is computed:
- Go to Configuration > Settings > Timesheet Options
- Configure Employee's Timesheet Cost policy accordingly.
This module also supports optional integration with hr_contract_rate module that allows configuring contract rate with more variety of options: e.g. hourly, monthly, etc. rates.
Usage
Source · Odoo 12.0With project_timesheet_holidays module installed, leaves are not taken into account: effective rate is calculated as if leaves have been tracked to other project.
Without project_timesheet_holidays module installed, leaves are taken into account: cost of paid leaves is split among the actual time entries.
