Manage Pos Input via Batch MEX Page

Use the Manage Pos Input via Batch MEX page (GPMX_PI_BATCH) to load batch positive input or delete previously loaded batch positive input.

Navigation:

Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, and then Absence and Payroll Processing, and then Prepare Payroll, and then Manage Pos Input via Batch MEX

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Manage Pos Input via Batch MEX page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Field or Control	Description
Clear Data	If you select this check box, the system will delete previously loaded data. If you deselect this check box, the batch process will load new data into the Positive Input tables for payroll purposes.
Pay Group	Enter the pay group for which you want to load batch positive input.
Calendar ID	Enter the calendar ID for the pay group that you identified in the Pay Group field.
Batch Code	Enter the batch code ID that identifies all of the transactions contained in the flat file. This field enables you to delete information loaded by mistake, because it serves as the identifier of that information.
Input Directory	Specify the location of the flat file containing the batch positive input (flat file directory).
Output Directory	If the batch process finds errors, it generates a log file containing the errors. Use this field to specify where the system should place the error log (error log directory).

Note:

You do not need to specify input and output directories when deleting values because the process determines the data to delete according to the batch code that you specify.
