CUSTOM WAGE RATE (System Preference)#

Initiates custom wage rate logic in the application. Once all of the appropriate Pay Components are marked as '[X] Custom Rate', then the actual program name to invoke the custom logic must be specified in the value for this site preference.

This preference is set by site (IMST)

The custom wage rate logic identified in this scenario must be defined in as a function in the database which takes no parameters and returns a boolean TRUE;

This data base function has access to all the P2K_PPGENR8 package variables including complete table structures like Pay headers (K_PPH), Pay lines (K_PPL) and Pay line details (K_PPLD). The output of the custom wage rate function is populated into package variables that are then used in the subsequent payroll calculation:

P2K_PPGENR8.K_CUSTOM_WAGE_RATE

The result of the computation or manipulation. This is the new wage rate that will be used for that transaction, on the pay line detail.

P2K_PPGENR8.K_WAGE_MESSAGE

Any diagnostic or informational messaging is populated here. This ends up in the pay line's AUDIT_TEXT field

Care should be taken to ensure that there are no places where the function can abort due to data problems. This is usually done with a construct at the end like

EXCEPTION
  WHEN OTHERS THEN
       p2k_ppgenr8.k_wage_message  := p2k_pmgen.error_stack;
       p2k_ppgenr8.k_wage_output   := 0;
  RETURN TRUE;
END;
