Configuring the Code – ID Assignment Tab

Configuring the Code – ID Assignment Tab

The Code – ID Assignment tab is used to map identifiers from HCSS HeavyJob to their equivalents in EWBills, ensuring data flows correctly even when naming conventions differ between systems.

This mapping is crucial for companies that have used HCSS and EWBills separately and may not have identical ID values across both platforms.


Why Mapping Is Needed

If your Employee IDs, Equipment IDs, or Pay Class values in HCSS do not match those in EWBills, the system needs to know where to find matching identifiers during import.

This tab allows you to tell EWBills which fields in HCSS correspond to EWBills' expected values.


Mapping Fields

You’ll configure the mapping for three key areas:

  1. Employee ID
    If HCSS's Employee ID does not match EWBills’ ID format, specify an alternate field from HCSS that does match—such as Accounting Code.

  2. Equipment ID
    Similar to Employee ID mapping. If your internal EWBills equipment identifiers don’t match the default HCSS Equipment ID, map to the correct HCSS field.

  3. Wage and Level (Craft | Wage Level)
    Used when importing labor classifications.

    • Type the field name you have defined in HCSS that stores this information for the Pay Class. (Example: Craft)

    • Format: "Craft|Wage Level" (e.g., LBR|G1)

    This allows EWBills to separate and recognize Craft and Wage Level correctly when applying labor rates.


Best Practice

Double-check with your HCSS administrator to confirm which fields hold the correct values that match EWBills IDs. Accurate mapping here ensures successful pre-bill creation and avoids manual corrections later.
