A4.0  EDB MESSAGE FUNCTIONS


A4.1  General Overview

In EDB Entry/Update various messages are displayed by the system in response to actions the user takes on a screen. Messages may also appear in response to conditions detected while performing edits on entered data.

A4.2  Entry Screen Messages

There are two basic types of messages that may appear on entry screens.

These messages fall into three categories:

Informational messages
Instructional messages
Error messages

Informational Messages

Informational messages inform the user that an action has been completed. No response is necessary to an informational message. The user may continue processing.

For example:   The preparer has entered a change to the employee’s tax information. After pressing F9 to update the change and assuming there are no errors with the data entered the system displays the message "U0007 Update process complete" to indicate the update has taken place.

Instructional Messages

Instructional messages alert the user to an action that must be taken. The user must complete the specified action before processing can continue, OR may press "F5 Cancel" to cancel the action.

For example:  When two users enter data for the same employee, at the same time, "P0603 Intervening update has occurred. Re-enter changes" will be displayed on the screen of the second user to press the update key "F9".

Error Messages

Error messages inform the user that a data entry error has occurred and that processing cannot continue unless it is corrected. The user must correct the invalid data or supply the missing required data before processing can continue, OR press "F5 Cancel" to cancel the transaction.  There are various levels of severity for error messages. A list of these levels appears in Appendix IV. All messages which have a severity level of Employee Reject appear on the entry screen or on the ECON screen and must be corrected before update can take place. In general, the process works like this:

For example:  The user enters a value of ‘Q’ in the Retirement Code field on the ERET screen. The message "P0601 Field out of range or illegal value" is displayed because ‘Q’ is NOT one of the valid retirement code values. The Retirement Code field is highlighted in red to indicate that is where the error occurred.

When all the data passes range/value edits, the user presses "F9 Update" to perform consistency edits on the entered data.

A4.3  ECON Screen Messages

If the consistency edit process results in a message, the ECON screen is displayed to the user for review. The user examines the message(s), makes corrections if necessary, and either presses "F9 Update" again to complete the update, or presses "F5 Cancel" to cancel the update. Once all the errors displayed on the ECON screen have been corrected, a notification will appear on the entry screen indicating that the update was completed.

Message Display

Messages are displayed on the ECON screen one message at a time. To review additional messages, the user presses "F6 NextMsg" to:

For each message displayed, all of the data elements associated with each Con-edit (Consistency Edit) are displayed on the screen, along with the entered or current value of each data element. The data elements are presented in data element number order. If there are more data elements associated with a single message than will fit on one screen, remaining elements can be displayed by pressing "F7 Backward" and "F8 Forward".

For example:  If the user enters valid values for AD&D Prin Sum and Coverage on the EINS screen, but leaves AD&D Cov Eff Date blank, the input is accepted because there are no range/value edits detected.

However, when the user presses "F9 Update", the edit process detects the missing data and displays message "08086 Empl Rej IF ONE AD&D ELEMENT PRESENT, ALL THREE AD&D ELEMENTS REQUIRED" on the ECON screen. The cursor is positioned on data element 0282, AD&D COV DATE, and "F6 NextMsg" is displayed to indicate that there are more messages to be viewed. At this point, the user may press the "Tab" key to position the cursor in the value column for the AD&D COV DATE. The user enters the AD&D COV date and presses "F9 Update" to update.

Correcting Data on ECON

A user may change data element values directly on the ECON screen for any data element that is displayed. This may be done even if it is not a data element that the user changed on an entry screen.

After one or more data elements have been corrected on the ECON screen, the user can:

If update is selected, all the changes will be re-edited. If there are any messages remaining after the re-edit process, those messages will be displayed and messages can again be reviewed and data corrected. Once all errors are corrected and "F9 Update" is pressed, the user will be returned to the last entry screen and the message "U0007 Update process complete" will be displayed on the message line of the entry screen. However, if the action was initiated using a bundle, the user will instead be returned to the first screen in that bundle.   NOTE:  The screen shown below is the first screen in the APRO bundle.  To advance to a different screen in the bundle, the user would press "F11-Next Func".

Returning to the Entry Screen From ECON

The option to return to the entry screens from ECON is also provided. For instance, the user may want to view data in the context of other data on a screen before determining the correct value. The user may also decide that data that is NOT displayed on the ECON screen needs to be entered before the update proceeds. The F3 key is defined as a RETURN key on the ECON screen. If "F3" is pressed the user is returned to the screen that was displayed at the time "F9 Update" was requested. The entry screens will contain any changes the user made before update was requested as well as any changes made on the ECON screen. The user can then make additional changes on that screen, or, if in a bundle, on other screens in the bundle. Update must be requested again when additional changes, if any, have been made, and the data will again be edited.

For example: An error in the address information has been detected and a message issued.

The user may press "F3 Return" and the EADD screen will be displayed. The changes that the user has entered are still reflected on the screen.

The user determines that the 'F' in the Foreign Address Indicator field is a mistake and changes it to an 'A' on the EADD screen, as shown below:

The user presses "F9 Update" to re-edit the data. The edit process does not detect any errors this time, so the ECON screen is not displayed again and the update of the data is completed.

Canceling the Update on ECON

When "F5 Cancel" is pressed on the ECON screen, the user is returned to the screen that was displayed at the time Update was requested. Please note that pressing "F5 Cancel" will mean that all data which was entered prior to pressing "F9 Update" will be lost. The entry screens will present data as it existed before the most recent changes were entered.

For example: The system detects an inconsistency between the Citizenship Code and the number of federal exemptions and therefore displays the ECON screen and issues the message "FED TAX EXEMPT MUST BE 999 FOR CITIZEN CODE E".

The preparer does not know the employee's correct citizenship status and therefore decides to cancel the update by pressing "F5 Cancel".  The user is asked to confirm the Cancel function by pressing "F5" a second time.

Completing the Update on ECON

When satisfied that all necessary data changes have been made, the user presses "F9 Update" from the ECON screen. If data changes have been made on the ECON screen, the data will be re-edited, and any messages which are issued will be displayed. If the user has made any changes, these messages should be reviewed to make sure the corrected data did not cause additional errors. If no additional data is changed, the user again presses "F9 Update" to complete the update. The last entry screen is displayed with a system message indicating that the update was completed.

For example: After correcting all Consistency Edit Errors displayed by the system, the preparer presses "F9 Update" and is returned to the first screen of the promotion bundle where the message "Update process complete" is displayed.

A4.4  IMSG Screen Messages

The IMSG screen is displayed when the user keys the function code IMSG, an employee record key and then presses "Enter". The messages that appear on this screen relate to the update or change made to the employee’s record today. The IMSG screen contains information regarding the date and time the update occurred that resulted in the messages appearing on this screen.

For example: The messages on this screen relate to an update that occurred on 04/09/08 at 17:49:00.

If more than one action was processed on an employee’s record during the day, there would be a separate screen of IMSG messages for each action processed. The screen of IMSG messages that appears first would be the one associated with the most recent action processed on the employee. To view the messages related to an earlier action, the user would press "F6 Nextmsg". Continuing to press "F6 Nextmsg" after each new IMSG screen would cause the system to display the messages for all earlier actions until you reached the last screen of messages. Pressing "F6 Nextmsg" at this point would return you to the first screen of messages.

The IMSG messages that appear for an employee are deleted each night after the system is shut down. The next morning all the messages related to yesterday’s actions are gone and are not retained anywhere else in the system. For this reason, it is very important to remember to view the IMSG screen the same day the action is processed in the system.

The IMSG messages can be informational in nature or they can point out potential errors/mistakes with the data just updated. Messages indicating a possible problem with data just updated should be researched and the data corrected if necessary.

For example: The message "Warning ASSIGNED BELI AND DERIVED BELI INCONSISTENT" warns that the Assigned BELI entered by the preparer could be wrong since it does not match with the BELI code assigned by the system.

The two BELI codes should be reviewed and a determination made of which code is correct. The EDB inquiry screen IGEN would be one place the user could look to find the two codes.

Some of these IMSG messages may be more informational in nature.

For example: The message "Warning PERSONNEL PROGRAM SET BASED ON TITLE CODE" lets the user know that the system derived the employee’s personnel program code based on the title code entered for the employee.

Anytime the system either derives data for the employee or overrides employee data that was initially entered by the preparer, an IMSG message will be displayed to that effect.

Messages that appear on the IMSG screen are all assigned a severity level of 1 to 4 (see Appendix IV Message Severity). Error conditions of a severity level greater than 4 will not be allowed to pass by the edit process unless corrected and therefore will preclude completing the update of data until resolved. Conditions of the kind that appear of the IMSG screen are allowed to pass the edit process and allow the preparer to complete the update unobstructed.

If an IMSG message leads the preparer to make a correction of the data previously updated, the IMSG message will continue to appear on this screen even after the correction is made. It will be deleted from this screen with all the other messages after the system is shut down that evening.
