Masters

The app introduces a small set of doctypes. Three are "main" documents an operator works with directly; three are child tables that only ever live inside a parent document.

Activity Type

Define primary tasks for casual workers, such as "Washing" "Loading" or "Un-Loading".

Activity Type Doctype

Casual Activity Item (setup / master data)

This is where pricing lives. Each record answers one question: "How much is one unit of this activity, for this item, worth?"

Casual Activity Item

Field	Type	Notes
Activity Type	Link → Activity Type	Required. The category of work.
Item	Link → Item	The specific item the work is performed on.
Costing Rate	Currency	The rate that actually matters — the pay per single unit/item.
Billing Rate	Currency	Hidden, currently unused by the payout logic. Reserved for a future "what we charge" vs "what we pay" distinction.
Title	Data	Hidden, system-managed naming helper.

Naming series: PROJ-ACT-.#####
Document type: Setup (master data, not transactional).
Permission: Projects User role.

Worth knowing: the payout engine reads Costing Rate only. The Billing Rate field exists in the schema but does not feed into any calculation today, so leaving it at zero has no effect on pay.

Casual Payroll Payout (the daily document)

This is the workhorse of the daily cycle, one document per shift + date. It is submittable and has two child tables doing two different jobs.

Casual Payroll Payout

Field	Type	Notes
Company	Link → Company	Scopes the attendance lookup.
Shift Type	Link → Shift Type	Required. The casual shift for that day.
Attendance Date	Date	Required. The day being paid for.
Casual Payroll Payout Item (table)	Table	The work done that day.
Total Quantity	Float	Auto-summed from the item table.
Total Amount	Currency	Auto-summed from the item table — the day's total pay pool.
Casual Payroll Payout Employee (table)	Table	The workers present that day.
Salary Structure / Casual Salary Component	Link	Read-only references carried for context.
Payment Processed	Check	The lock flag. Editable even after submit.

Naming series: CPR-{DD}-{MM}-{####} (date-stamped).
Permission: HR Manager role.
Validation: both Attendance Date and Shift Type are mandatory before the document will save.

Casual Salary Structure Assignment Tool (the period roll-up document)

One document per pay period. It gathers every submitted daily payout in a date range, totals each worker's earnings, and on submission generates the actual Salary Structure Assignments. Also submittable.

Casual Salary Structure Assignment Tool

Field	Type	Notes
Attendance Start Date	Date	Start of the pay period.
Attendance End Date	Date	End of the pay period.
Salary Structure	Link → Salary Structure	Required. The structure assigned to every worker in the run.
Company	Link → Company	Scope.
Casuals Weekly Amount (table)	Table → Casual Payment Record	Required. The per-worker totals for the period.

Naming series: CWP-{DD}-{MM}-{####}.
Permission: System Manager role.
Linked to: Salary Structure Assignment (via a custom field), so you can trace any assignment back to the run that created it.

Casual Payroll Payout Item (child table)

Rows describing the work done. This is where the day's money is earned.

Field	Type	Notes
Activity Type	Link → Activity Type	Required.
Item	Link → Item	Required.
Quantity	Float	How many units were done. Defaults to 1 when an item is chosen.
Rate	Currency	Read-only. Auto-fetched from the matching Casual Activity Item.
Amount	Currency	Rate × Quantity.

Casual Payroll Payout Employee (child table)

Rows describing who shares the day's pool.

Field	Type	Notes
Employee / Employee Name	Link → Employee / Data	The worker.
Shift Type	Link → Shift Type	The shift they were on.
Attendance	Link → Attendance	The source attendance record.
Check In / Check Out	Datetime	Pulled from Employee Checkin for the record.
Amount	Currency	The worker's share of the day's total.

Casual Payment Record (child table)

Rows inside the period roll-up — one consolidated line per worker for the whole period.

Field	Type	Notes
Employee / Employee Name	Link / Data	The worker.
Amount ("Basic Salary")	Currency	Total earned across the period — becomes the assignment base.
