Enterable Values on Calculation Cards

Some values entered on a calculation card override values defined in a calculation value definition.

For example, the application sets the Public Housing Fund City Average Monthly Salary in Previous Year as 0 for the legislative data group (LDG), and allows the amount to be overridden at the PSU, TRU, or the payroll relationship level.

The following table explains where you can enter override values on calculation cards. It also provides the order in which the Calculate Payroll process checks for values entered on calculation cards. When the process finds an entered value, it stops checking and uses the values defined at that level.

Allow Enterable Values on Calculation Cards

The ability to enter values on calculation cards is controlled by the Enterable Calculation Values on Calculation Cards section of the calculation value definition:

  • For user defined calculation value definitions, you can specify an enterable calculation value in this section. You provide:

    • The display name to appear on the calculation card.

    • The value type, such as total amount or additional amount.

  • Enterable values for statutory deductions are predefined. You can't allow new enterable values for predefined calculation value definitions.

Enterable Value Types

The list of value types available for entry depends on the calculation type. For example, you can allow users to enter the percentage value for a flat rate calculation or the monetary value for a flat amount calculation.

The following value types are available for all calculation types except text:
