DELETE RETROACTIVE TIMESHEET ADJUSTMENTS

Use this screen to delete timesheets generated using the Create Retroactive Timesheet Adjustments screen.

The Create Retroactive Timesheet Adjustments process creates timesheets to document pay increases or adjustments that involve retroactive pay activity. You must use this process if you have already posted timesheets and you need to generate retroactive pay timesheets because the employee pay rate has changed and the original timesheet data does not reflect this adjustment.

Only timesheets generated using the Create Retroactive Timesheet Adjustments program that were not processed using the Post Labor and Compute Payroll applications can be deleted.

Executing the Delete Retroactive Timesheet Adjustments utility removes the retroactive pay timesheets from Costpoint.

You can cancel this process at any time; however, if you are satisfied with your record specifications, you must select to execute this utility.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options are also included in the saved parameter ID if there are any. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults.
