Run Cycle Control File {FPRM-2}


The Run Cycle Control File enables the Finance Officer to set start and end dates for the occurrence of specific payroll events. 

This restricts the different functions to be performed by the Salary Department to specific times of the month and / or year.  

In this way security is improved and the alteration of salary detail during the running of calculations can be precluded.  

This file will be supplied in an open-ended format upon installation of the system it should be set as soon as possible thereafter so as to coincide with the first active pay cycle.

The events are pre-defined and are the following:
(The specific menu options which will be controlled by a particular control record, are shown in brackets)

When the option is queried, four records corresponding to the above events will be displayed.


When one of the linked events A, C, P, Q, T, U, X or Z occurs, the system will create a record in the Event Logfile {FPRM-3}.  With the exception of the P, T, X and Z records, the existence of such a record will prevent the repetition of this event for the same calculation number during the current pay cycle, unless the appropriate action is taken - refer to the Event Logfile {FPRM-3}.



Fields in the option:

Box 1:  Run Cycle Control File

Field Type
&
Length
Description
Type A1 Enter the type of action to be controlled.
Frequency Indicator A1 Supply the payment frequency. Valid values are (A)nnual, (M)onthly  or (W) Fortnightly.
Week/Month MM For the events “G”, ”I”, “X”, “B” and “Z” the month defaults to zero: the system treats these as open events irrespective of what may be entered.  The number of the month and the year (i.e. pay cycle) must, however, be specified for the other events. For example: if the August 2010 Salary Calculation is to be run, the month for “C” will be set to “08” and the year to “2010”
Year YYYY The same remarks as above apply.
Calc Number N1 The events “G”, ”I”, “X” and “Z” are not linked to a particular calculation number, nor are “Automatic Increases”, “Generate ACB Tape” or “Yearly Run and Reports”.  All other events must be linked to a particular calculation number
Event A30 The name of the event is displayed.
Start Date DD-MON-YYYY Specify the earliest date on which this event is allowed, thus preventing alteration of information in advance.
End Date DD-MON-YYYY Specify the latest date on which this event is allowed, thus preventing alterations in arrears.
Cycle YYYYMMDD These cycles will default from Dates for Payroll Cycles {FPRM-21} and cannot be updated.
