    About this task

    By default, all base system time card categories are mapped with the base system operational work types. If mapping is not done for custom categories, the Resource Plan field displays all the operational resource plans associated with the user for that time period when you create a time card.

    During time card creation, after you select a time card category and task or during time sheet submission for other category time cards, operational resource plans are populated for that category and task as described in the following table.
