Assignment Set

Assignment set are to be defined for the following purpose
  • For processing only the subset of the Assignment for the payroll processing eg: Payroll for the People who work in the night shift need to be processed first as they need to receive the pay advice before the day shift employees
  • For generating the quick paint report for the set of assignment
  • Can be used in the BEE for creating the identical entry for all the assignment in the Assignment set

Before we start defining the Assignment set we need to decide whether we are going to use Assignment set for the payroll process or for some other process like reporting etc.

Defining the Assignment set

  • Enter the name of assignment set (Only Char, ( _ ) and Numbers are allowed and NO SPACE allowed)
  • If you need to use this assignment set only for the payroll then select the Payroll from the LOV Otherwise it is an optional field we can leave it blank.
  • Save the work

If we want to use the formula criteria for defining the Assignment set choose the button Criteria from the assignment set window

  • Enter the Seq Number
  • Leave the Condition field Blank for the first line, you can choose either AND / OR depending on the criteria
  • Choose the Database Item as the variable for the criteria (all the Database Item will be prefixed by '&')
  • Choose the Operator (=, <=, >= , etc..,)
  • Enter the Value or choose the Database Item
  • Keep entering the other criteria from the second line
  • Save the work

If you specifically want to include or exclude any assignment choose the button Amendment button

  • Choose the option Inc/Exc from the LOV
  • Select the Name from the LOV
  • Save the work

Select the Generate Button for generating the Fast Formula for the criteria defined above. The Fast formula will be created with the same name as the assignment set
