  • 1.  #PR Payroll Entry Question

    Posted 04-17-2019 20:26
    Payroll v2.19.  In data entry when clicking on the detail tab, the cursor goes straight to the Hours field.  My client would like to enter the job number and cost code first.  The entry order is correct for line 2 and all further lines since we set up the grid, but we want to start on Job Number not Hours for the first line.  Can this be done?

    I suppose you've already moved the Job Number and Cost Code fields from secondary grid to primary and put them in front of Hours field?

    I looked there, of course.  Could not see any way to change the default first field.

    You could have your developer (forgot his name) try a UI script that runs on Panel PostLoad event of Details tab. Something like this:

    curRow = 1 : curColumn = 3 'For me Job Number is column 3 but change as needed
    oUIObj.SetControlProperty "GD_Lines", "CurrentRow", curRow
    oUIObj.SetControlProperty "GD_Lines", "CurrentColumn", curCol

    It is as if hours are the index much like the GL account number is for other entry screens.Therefore, you HAVE to enter first.  But equally puzzling is that line two allows you to move things around.  Sounds like WAD rules apply.  Too bad.  A programming oversight that will be nearly impossible to change.....

    Life should NOT be this hard!!!!

    Unfortunately, I think what they're looking for is Time Card.  The Payroll module is going to try to force the default hours related to the Pay Cycle before anything else is added.
