Payroll Event Type Defaults

Many transaction codes in the Payroll (PYRL) transaction type use this page to determine the appropriate event type based on the transaction code created by the payroll interface and several other payroll options. Those transaction codes that can only perform one event type do not use page, but rather rely on the Default Event Type field on Transaction Control (DCTRL) page. The default from the Payroll Event Type Defaults will only happen when the event type field is not populated on the payroll transaction accounting line and the determining factors match a default record. This page does not function as a combination validation, which will allow the selection of a different event type on the payroll transaction from that of the matching page record. 

Data is delivered to support all payroll accounting entries necessary from CGI Advantage HRM. Any single implementation will not use all records.

The fields on Payroll Event Type Defaults (PYRLETD) are as follows with common ones omitted:
