Hi,

Just want to be sure I understand the above. Are you saying that without a Payroll on the Assignment, the Element Entries form doesn't open?

If that's the case, I find this odd, and it isn't my understanding of the functionality. As I generally implement Payroll, it's been a while since I have seen an assignment without a Payroll. I'll have to test your scenario to understand what's happening.

What is your setting for the profile option "HR:User Type"? Please check at the lowest level at which it's set.

Regards,

Peter

@SBi.. Thanks.. I will look up the document but what I am coming to understand is that it's got to be a fast formula to assign custom numbering.

@Peter - Thanks once again. I have been in same scenario as you, always worked on complete HR/Payroll implementations so always had a payroll setup. This time it is only HR so I am going through lot of R&D.

Profile setting for 'HR: User Type' is 'HR with Payroll User'.

Please let me know the outcome of your test.


Thanks.

I might have misunderstood what was being seen here, but I do know that a warning window pops up if the assignment has no payroll - this will not necessarily prevent you going to the element entry screen, but it will restrict what you can do once you're there. No non-recurring elements will be enterable, neither will any recurring elements that have any payroll-related link criteria (either a specific payroll, or 'Linked to all Payrolls' flag set)

I concur CT.

To be honest. There is nothing to stop you actually setting up a "dummy" payroll and calendar etc, even if you have no intention of processing payrolls.

I seem to recal us doing just such a thing at several HR-only implementations many moons ago.

bcooper,CT,delboy,PeterP.. everyone thanks a lots for youre reply. Mystery is finally solved and I concur with creating a dummy payroll for attaching accrual plans and salary element.

I haven't explored CWB yet and I have never worked with CWB before so lets see maybe it will hold some secrets.. :-)

For my second question, is there any place in HRMS or profiles to enter a first number for automatic employee generation? My client wants employee number to start from 10001.

So far I haven't seen any system configuration that allows us to setup the beginning employee number.

Any ideas guys??

Thanks.

Answer is in CT's reply.

To further clarify Mr SBi's comment, my answer to this can be found on page 1 of this thread.

Thanks to everyone. Evry piece of infromation was helpful.

Cheers.
