Pay Item Data Entry

Menu: Activities ~ Pay Item Data Entry
Button Panel: Pay Item Entry

This screen allows you to enter the units or cash for a specific pay item for all payees in the current pay group. You will find this data entry method useful when you have a list of employees and the number of hours worked for each person. You can select the pay item appropriate for the type of hours and key the hours for one person and press <Enter> to position the cursor ready to enter the hours for the next.

Select Payslip Type and Pay Item Type

The process will default to adding or updating a pay item in the normal pay for the current pay date. You can use this screen to add pay items to Supplementary or Adjustment payslips if you wish. See Payslip Types for more details on the purpose of each payslip type.

You can use this screen to enter data for any of the defined pay item types.

Entering Units and/or Cash

You would normally only enter units or a cash amount for each payee. For example, units for ordinary or overtime hours, or car allowances and cash for commission or expenses reimbursed.

After you type the units or cash for one payee, press <enter> to complete the entry and position the cursor in the units or cash field for the next person. As you press <enter>, the cursor will stay in the same column, proceeding down the column to the next payee.

To move the cursor to the column to the left or right, press the <left arrow> or <right arrow> key. The <up arrow> key will move the cursor to the previous line in the same column, and the <down arrow> will act the same as the <enter> key by moving the cursor down to the cell in the next line and the same column.
