Payroll

Module: PR
Function: Master information
Sub Function: Control Information

Description:
After upgrading from 10.5.1 to V11, Fields "44. Incl. Sick hours on check" and "45. Incl vac hours on check" are not upgraded properly and do not match what they were in version 10.5.1. For example, if the flags were set to "44 = N and 45 = Y" in 10.5.1, after the upgrade, they will be, "44 = Blank, 45 = N". The Payroll control file was changed for the SPR418 fix, release in 10.5.2, which caused this to happen.

The solution is to re-enter fields 44 and 45 in the Payroll Control information following the installation of Version 11.

Sub Function: "Fresh installation:

Description:
