Creating Several Lines for One Assignment

Use the Batch Assignment Entry window for fast entry of several batch lines for one assignment. You can make one or more entries for each element in an element set.

arrow icon   To enter lines for one assignment:

  1. Enter or query the batch header in the Batch Header window and choose the Assignment Lines button.

  2. Select an assignment and element set.

  3. Enter the input values for the first four elements in the set. 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.

  4. The following fields may be available depending on your localization and the element you selected:

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. For absence elements, 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.

  8. If there are more elements in the set, click on the next tab to display them. Continue entering input values.

  9. When you have made entries to as many elements as you require from the set, save your work.

  10. If you want to make entries for another assignment, select the assignment, enter the lines, then save again.

    Note: The entry values from the previous assignment are not cleared automatically from the form. So you can use the same values without retyping, you can type over the existing values, or you can use the Down Arrow key to clear the record.
