Editing Pay Rates of Expense Paycodes in PA Timesheet Entry

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Jothi Krishnan N 1,897

Hi,

Users wants to edit the Unitcost/Payrate of expense paycodes in the PA Timesheet entry screen, but GP doesnt allow and shows the message "You cannot change the unit cost for this pay code". Since the per diem and other allowances keeps changing, users have to go to the main employee paycode screen and update the rates and come back to this screen everytime, whereas it allows overriding of Standard paycodes in the Timesheet Entry itself. I ran the SDT and it traced this line "IsEditablePayRate() of form PA_Timesheet_Entry".  Is there any other way to make it editable.  Can I just update the unitcosts in this table PA10001 through customization or should I consider anything else as well? Why is there a restriction to not to edit the expense paycodes pay rates. I dont see any setup to enable it either. Can someone please shed some light on this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jothikrishnan

    Not sure if this will work - but one of the 'end users' I often go to for Project questions suggested that we try to zero out the pay rate at the employee card and then see what happens if you try to edit it at the time of entry.  While it might not be different - in change is change - possible that GP will see null as being replaced by value.

    If you have test environment or test company database, that is the best place to work on situations where you don't know the outcome.  If you are doing something that might have a negative impact on the data, work in TEST and or make a backup.

    Thank you for the response, Bill. I tried but no luck, same message. Sorry I mentioned that we need to change it in the employee paycode screen, but it's actually PA Employee Rate Maintenance screen.
