The Payroll Location Profile gives you access to the modules that maintain and manage the physical disk locations of all payrolls.
The HR system requires that all payrolls be set up in this profile. This profile is global used by both the OPS and PRM systems. Items in the profile must not be changed without prior consultation of all other systems affected.
Payroll Location Profile Additions
The Payroll Location Profile Additions modules let you add new payroll location profiles.
Payroll ID
Enter a 4-character payroll ID code. This code must be unique per payroll and it is recommended this code name in some way represents the payroll added. For example, 'SUBS' would be a descriptive code for the Substitutes payroll. The ID code of 'HRON' has been reserved for use by the system.
Payroll Description
Enter up to 30 characters of description for the payroll.
PRM Update
For future use.
Live or Test
Enter 'L' if the payroll you are adding is a live payroll.
Enter 'T' if the payroll you are adding is a test payroll. This field is used by the Payroll system to determine where all payroll interface files are created. Interface files from Live payrolls are created at the location pointed to by 'SRB$PAYROLLINT' logical. Interface files from Test payrolls will be created at the location pointed to by the 'SRB$PAYROLLWRK' logical.
Payroll Number
Enter a unique two-digit number to identify each payroll.
Currently this Payroll Number is only being used by the BC Pension system to identify payrolls although this number may be used in future development as a means of prioritizing payrolls.
The next 5 prompts require a specific directory value (disk & directory name). You cannot use any of the SRB$??????? logicals in this profile setup. You may set up your own logicals but the logicals MUST be unique per payroll.
Global Location
Enter the location of the global file directory. This location will be used by all your payrolls and pointed to by the SRB$HRMGLB logical.
Data 0 Location
Enter the location of the primary PAYROLL data files for this payroll. This is the location pointed to by the SRB$PAYROLLDAT0 logical for this specific payroll.
Data 1 Location
Enter the location of the GL history data file for this payroll. This location is pointed to by the SRB$PAYROLLDAT1 logical for this specific payroll.
Work Location
