To enter individual batch lines:In the Batch Lines window, you can enter new lines for individual assignments, and you can view and edit lines created automatically for an assignment set. You can speed up entry of new lines by entering default input values
Note: A batch can contain lines for as many elements as you require. Lines within a batch can have different effective dates.
To enter individual batch lines:Enter or query a batch header in the Batch Header window, and choose the Element Lines button.
Select the element for which you want to make entries.
To enter default values to speed up the data entry, choose the Defaults button. The Defaults window displays the input values for the selected element.
Enter default values in any of the fields in the Defaults window. These defaults apply to all new entries in the batch, but not to any entries you have already made. You can change the defaults at any time during your data entry.
Note: These defaults will override any defaults defined for the element or element link. To use the element or link defaults, leave the input value blank. These defaults are entered during the BEE transfer process.
Uncheck the Display check box for any field that you do not want to display in the Lines window. You can hide any fields for which the default is correct for every entry.
In the Lines window, enter the data required for the batch. Lists of values are available on some fields, but no validation is enforced during data entry.
Note: You will not see any defaults defined for the input values, but if you leave the input values blank, the defaults are entered during the BEE transfer process.
The following fields may be available depending on your localization and the element you selected:
Enter Further Information for this element entry.
For a non-recurring element, optionally select a date within the current payroll period in the Date Earned field. The entry will not be processed until this date (that is, the Date Earned of the Payroll Run must be on or after this date).
Select a third party payment method in the Payee field to enter information about a third party recipient of a payment resulting from a deduction.
Enter a number in the Subpriority field if you want to determine the processing sequence of multiple entries in the payroll run. Lower priority numbers process first.
You can override the Effective Date for any line. This is the effective start date for a new entry or the effective date of an update.
If you selected an absence element, enter the absence start and end dates. BEE uses these dates to create an absence record, however the element is entered as of the effective date.
Save your entries. If you want to make entries for another element, select the element, enter new defaults, enter the lines, then save again.
Use the Batch Lines window to view existing batch lines.
To retrieve existing batch lines:Do one of the following:
Select the element in the Element field.
Check the Unknown Elements check box if you are querying batch lines entered for an invalid element (or no element) by SQL*Plus or another tool.
Choose the Find button.
You can update a batch at any time before you transfer it. If you make any changes to a batch with the status Validated or Error, the batch status changes to Unprocessed.
