To begin entry of payroll data, the user must first determine the appropriate screen for the type of payroll transaction to be processed. Appendix I contains a list of available screens, the associated Function Codes, a description and sample of each screen, and a reference to the section in this manual where use of the screen is described in more detail. The user may select the appropriate function or individual screen using the methods described in Sections A2.4 and A2.7. Information on accessing the Time Input Roster can be found in Section C1.2.
When an entry screen is displayed, the cursor will be positioned on the first enterable field. Each entry field allows space for the maximum number of characters which may be entered. If the data entered does not fill the field it will be necessary to TAB to the next field. The user may enter data in all the entry fields on a screen, or only in selected fields.
Data May be Entered as Follows:
Note: The cursor will automatically "jump" to the next entry field on the screen when the user enters data or a space in the last position of the entry field.
A3.1 Special Commands
Certain types of actions are accomplished through the use of special commands. The special commands are entered either in the Command Column "C" (located on the left side of each screen) or on the Command Line "===>" (located at the bottom of each screen just below the Next Function field). These special commands can be entered only on specific screens.

Listed below are the screens that permit special commands and a discussion
of the commands that may be used on each.
EDAP and EDLR Screens
The RETRIEVE command can only be used on the Additional Pay screen (EDAP) or on the Late/Reduce Pay screen (EDLR) to retrieve an employees current payroll distribution information from the EDB and display the data on either screen for easier processing. Retrieving distribution data for an employee on one of these two screens can be done in two different ways. One way is to enter the Retrieve code R on the Command Line "===>" and the other is to enter the R code in the Command Column "C".
Note: Distribution data for an employee can only be retrieved if the distribution to be retrieved is currently on the employees EDB record. Historical distributions cannot be retrieved.
To retrieve distribution data using the Command Line for a particular employee on EDAP or EDLR screen:
Three distributions can be retrieved at one time, either 3 different distributions or the same distribution. Each retrieved distribution will set up a separate transaction record for processing. The format for retrieving multiple distributions using the Command line is: ===> R nn nn nn where nn is the number of each distribution to be retrieved.
Example: To retrieve the distribution data from distribution 11 for an employee using the Command Line, on the EDLR screen, the user would tab to the Command Line, enter R 11 and press the "Enter" key.

To retrieve distribution data using the Command Column for a particular employee on the
EDAP or EDLR screen:
The retrieve (R) command can be used to retrieve up to 3 distributions at one time, either 3 different distributions or the same distribution. To process multiple retrieves using the Command column, the user would enter an R in the Command column just before the Seq field for each transaction the user wishes to set up and then tab to the distribution field (DST) and enter the number of the distribution to be retrieved for each transaction.
Example: To retrieve the distribution data from distribution 11 for an employee using the Command Column, on the EDLR screen, the user would tab to the Command Line, enter R 11 and press the "Enter" key.

Whichever method of retrieving is used, the system will retrieve the data from
distribution 11 for the employee and set up a transaction record on the EDLR screen for
additional processing.

After the distribution data has been retrieved, the remainder of the late pay
transaction data (i.e., the transaction type and pay period end date) needs to be entered
before the final update. Any data retrieved from the EDB that is not relevant to the
current transaction should be deleted by entering an asterisk (*) in the first position of
the field prior to updating the transaction.
EDAP, EDFT, EDLA, EDLR and EDRA Screens
The special function COPY can be used on most payroll adjustment transaction screens to set up a new transaction record by copying the data from an existing transaction A new transaction cannot be copied until after it has been updated.
Unlike the Retrieve function, Copy can only be performed using the Command Column (C). To set up a new payroll adjustment transaction for an employee by copying an existing transaction for the same pay period:
Example: To create a second Reduce Pay (RX) transaction using the Copy function, for an employee that already has a transaction established, the user would position the cursor in the Command column opposite the transaction the user wished to copy, and then enter a C in the Command field and press the "Enter" key.
Note the Seq. of the transaction about to be copied (00048).

The system creates a new transaction for the employee with the data from the existing
transaction copied over to the new transaction. Notice the system has assigned a new
transaction sequence number (00052) for the newly created transaction.

To complete the new Reduce Pay transaction, the user would enter the appropriate
transaction code (RX) and change whatever data is different about this transaction from
the transaction that was copied (in this case the Pay Period End date and the number of
hours) and then the user would press "F9" to Update.

Payroll adjustment transactions for an employee can be copied from one payroll
processing cycle to a different payroll cycle. To do this, the user would again enter a
C in the Command column to the left of the transaction line to be copied, but before
the user presses the "Enter" key, the user should tab down to the payroll
processing data in the footer portion of the screen and change the Pay Cycle code and Pay
End date.
Example: To create a new Reduce Pay Transaction for an employee to be processed in a different pay cycle using the copy function, the user should position the cursor in the Command column and enter a C in front of the transaction to be copied. The user should then move the cursor to the Pay Cycle field in the footer part of the screen and change the pay cycle and the Pay End date to correspond to the new payday and then press the "Enter" key.
