📘 Overview
You can configure the Pay Component Sub Type field to default to "Normal time" on NetSuite timesheet entries. This makes it easier for employees and payroll officers by pre-filling the most common time classification.
⚠️ Heads-up: This setting will be overwritten whenever you install a full bundle update for Bundle 30500. If that happens, just follow the steps below again to reapply the default.
Using the Zone Employee Portal (ZEP)?
If your employees submit timesheets via the Zone Employee Portal (ZEP), you don’t need to do anything —
🪄 "Regular time" is already the default value for the Pay Component Sub Type field in ZEP.
🔄 No manual setup required — ZEP takes care of it for you automatically.
