Pay Cycle Pattern

The Pay Cycle Pattern (PCPT) is used to indicate what Pay Cycle records are created by the Populate CYCL and WCPC Tables batch process. This process eases the data entry associated with maintaining the Pay Cycle (CYCL) and Work Cycle for Pay Cycle (WCPC) tables by creating entries, on CYCL and WCPC, based on user input via the Pay Cycle Pattern (PCPT) and Work Cycle Pattern (WCPT) pages. The Populate CYCL and WCPC Table batch process creates CYCL and WCPC entries within the user-defined timeframe.

The Bypass Indicator field on both the Pay Cycle Pattern and Work Cycle Pattern tables allows you to decide if the Populate CYCL and WCPC Tables process should overwrite entries that already exist. In each of these cases a warning is issued that the existing record was either replaced or bypassed.
