Work Cycle Pattern

The Work Cycle Pattern (WCPT) page used to define a group of Work Cycles that are associated with a specific Pay Cycle code. These entries define what Work Cycle for Pay Cycle (WCPC) entries should be automatically 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 Tables batch process creates all the CYCL and WCPC records for that year.

The Bypass Indicator field, on both the Pay Cycle Pattern and Work Cycle Pattern pages, 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.
