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 on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made on 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 on the screen, you can override the defaults.

Select this option if you want to reverse a previously closed leave year.

If you believe that you may need to potentially reverse the leave year posting process, you must not balances in the new leave year. The following rules will apply to the leave year closing reversal process:

• You cannot reverse a leave year after balances have been transferred.
• You can reverse a leave year if leave has been computed in the new leave year.
• You can reverse a leave year if labor has been posted.

Select if you reconcile leave manually with general ledger entries or through the Reconcile Leave Balances screen process. You must reconcile leave before closing the leave year.

Valid options are:

• Costpoint Reconcile Leave Balance: If you select this option as the reconciliation method and close the leave year, all the employee ending balances for the current year moves forward as the new year’s starting balance.
• Manual reconciliation: If you select this option and close the leave year, the amounts will be recalculated.

If you select Employee as the Leave Balance Reconciliation Method option on the Configure Leave Settings screen and you used the Reconcile Leave Balances process, Costpoint updates the Employee Leave History table with the same reconciliation adjustments made to the general ledger. In this case, the Close Leave Year screen will not attempt to update the general ledger to adjust for any fluctuations in hourly rate during the leave year being closed. General ledger adjustments will only be generated under the following conditions:

• To reduce the liability by any excess over the leave year ceiling.
• If you selected the Base New Balances and Payout on New Leave Year Salary checkbox and the employee has a new Hourly Rate as of the new leave year, the liability adjustment caused by the increase or decrease in hourly rate will be posted to the general ledger.

Select this checkbox to base the beginning balance amounts for the new leave year and any pay out amounts and posting organization on the employee's hourly rate and Home Organization as of the next leave period.

• If Multicurrency Date Basis is Last Day of Leave Period in the Configure Leave Settings screen, then the employee's Hourly Rate, Home Organization, Rate Group, and Currency will be based on the last day of the next leave period.
