LOAD PAY LINES#

This function provides a means to import transactions from the Loaded Pay Lines table. This table must be populated with data from either an external source through the use of LMTD or manually entered into the form IPTL.

UPTL can load pay transactions to IPTR, pay lines to IPPH, or leave lines to IAAL.

Transactions matching the selection criteria are processed up to and including the ‘As Of’ date (Cut-off date) supplied in the parameters. Position, job, department and wage information is taken from the “prime” assignment record unless it is supplied on the transaction.

Each transaction processed is validated. A single transaction can have one or more warnings or errors. Warnings do not prevent transactions from being loaded; errors do. Transactions that pass the validations without any errors are recorded on the appropriate Personality table and then automatically deleted from the Loaded Pay Line table. Transactions with errors are left in the Loaded Pay Lines table. Transactions that have not been selected by the UPTL parameters are also left in the Loaded Pay Lines table for subsequent processing.

Audit text is provided on each transaction to identify the errors associated with it. All errors are reported on the exceptions report. Transactions with warnings are loaded but are also highlighted on the exceptions report. The exception report ONLY prints details for transactions where there are errors or warnings. The exception report prints control totals of the number of transactions processed, rejected and unprocessed. The exception report also shows the total hours processed and rejected.

UPTL loading depends on the chosen destination for the transactions. Each run of UPTL must be for a single destination. Destinations can be optionally provided on individual transactions if necessary. Removing loaded pay lines depends on the parameter; If YES, then all lines that are ’02-Loaded Clean’ and ’03-Loaded with Warnings’ will be removed from the file. If NO, the all lines will remain in the file after UPTL has completed.

IPTR - Pay Transactions#

IPTR transactions are processed by batch code, if supplied. If the batch code is not supplied, the transactions will be batched by payroll. New IPTR batches are created as required.

If no pay period is supplied, the date of the transaction determines the pay period the transaction falls in. The Eligible and Approved flags of newly created batches are set as per the parameters. Valid transactions are loaded into Pay Transactions and Pay Trans Time Codes

IPPH - Pay Lines#

Valid transactions are turned into pay lines and pay line details and if no matching pay header exists a new pay header is created. Existing batches and pay headers that have transactions added to them are marked as ‘to be audited’. Pay Headers can be pre-generated via the UPCPAY-Create Pay Header function. Pays are created only when the Create Pays When Needed toggle is on. There are a number of conditions that must be met for UPTL to use an existing batch:

The batch codes must be the same. This means for UPTL that either they were supplied to match or that both sides were batched by payroll.
Batch Status must be 00 - Active.
Batch Type must be 01 - Pay Header
The batch must have the same Pay Category as the IPTL row.
The Balanced flag must be null.
The Audited flag should be off.

IAAL - Leave Lines#

Valid transactions for leave entitlements and leave time taken are turned into leave lines. The Accrual status is set to “not updated”. No leave line details are created. The Entitlement Earned flag is turned on for entitlements. The new Leave Reason field becomes the IAAL Leave Reason.

When loading leave transactions into payroll if the employee leave accrual balance has been exceeded;

If IALP is set to No Warn, Allow - Transactions will load via UPTL
If IALP is set to Warn but Alllow - Transactions will load via UPTL
If IALP is set to Error, Do not Allow - Transaction will NOT load via UPTL and must be handled manually.
