Delete Retroactive Timesheet Adjustments

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to delete timesheets generated using the Create Retroactive Timesheet Adjustments process (People\Process\Timesheets).

The Create Retroactive Timesheet Adjustments process creates timesheets to document pay increases or various situations 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 have not been processed using the Post Labor (People\Process\Post), Compute Payroll, and Post Payroll applications can be deleted.

After you execute the Delete Retroactive Timesheet Adjustments utility, the retroactive pay timesheets are removed from the system and are no longer available.

Use the Non-Contiguous Range Selections subtask to enter non-contiguous employee records that should be marked for deletion.  The employee records, of course, should have retroactive pay timesheets associated with them.  If you are not entering non-contiguous records, use of this subtask is not required.

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

When should I use this screen?

You must have generated records using the Create Retroactive Timesheet Adjustments application before you can execute this utility.

Field Descriptions

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. Once 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.  Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process.  If you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters will automatically display as selection defaults. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

The checkbox (top right corner) allows you to select/deselect the record.  You might select this checkbox if you want to mark the record for deletion, for example.

Parameter ID  *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.  You should 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 produce reports and run processes more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. Once the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults as necessary.

Description *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Selection Ranges

Non-Contiguous Range Selections

Click on this link to open the Non-Contiguous Range Selections subtask, where you can enter non-contiguous employee records that should be marked for deletion.  The employee records, of course, should have retroactive pay timesheets associated with them.  If you are not entering non-contiguous records, use of this subtask is not required.
