Account Number

Use these processing options to specify how the system validates account numbers that are included on employee timecards.

1. Validate # sign

Specify whether the system allows employees to enter a pound sign (#) in place of a valid account number. If this is not allowed, the system verifies the validity of the account numbers that are associated with each timecard. Values are:

0: Allow a pound sign entry.

1: Do not allow a pound sign entry.

2. Posting Account Only

Specify whether the system verifies that the account number that is entered for timecards can be posted. Values are:

0: The system does not verify that the account number can be posted.

1: The system verifies that the account number can be posted.

3. Dynamic Account Creation

Specify whether the system uses dynamic account creation when an account number that does not exist in the Account Master table (F0901) is entered on a timecard. You should set this option to 0 if dynamic account creation is not included in your accounting process. Values are:

0: Do not create accounts dynamically.

1: Create accounts dynamically.

4. Validate Account

Specify whether the system automatically verifies and retrieves the correct account number from the Employee Master Information table (F060116). When this processing option is set to 1, the system first compares the account number that is entered on the timecard to existing account information in the Employee Master Information table. If the employee enters no account number, then the system uses data that is linked to the account number, such as the job location, cost code, pay type, and union, to retrieve the correct account number. Values are:

0: The system does not verify and retrieve the account number.

1: The system verifies and retrieves the account number.

2: The system verifies non-blank account numbers.
