Use the Create Batch Lines window to create identical lines for all assignments identified by an assignment set. This is a quick way to create many lines for an element or an element set. If you select a single element and the input values need to vary between assignments, you can leave these blank and add them later using the Batch Lines window. If you select an element set, the batch will contain blank lines for each element. You can leave them blank to accept the default values for the input values, or you can edit individual lines in the Batch Lines window.

   To enter batch lines for an assignment set:

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

2. In the Create Batch Lines window, select the assignment set and payroll that identify the employees you want to create lines for.

3. If you are creating blank lines for an element set, select the set and enter an effective date for the entries. Then go to step 9.

4. If you are creating lines for a single element, select the element and enter input values as appropriate.

5. 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).

6. 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.

7. If you selected an absence element, enter the absence start and end dates. BEE uses these dates to create an absence record, however the absence element is entered as of the effective date.

8. Change the effective date if required.

9. Choose the Process button to submit a concurrent process called Create Batches. Confirm that you want the system to create the lines.

   The Create Batch Lines window now closes, taking you back to the Batch Header window.

10. Choose the Assignment Set button again if you want to add lines for another element. Requery your batch and choose the Element Lines button if you want to view and edit the lines created by the process.
