Payroll Item Mismatch Utility

 

This is a new Utility program, visible to Admin and GM users by default.  For other users, they can be granted USPS_MANAGER_PAYROLLITEMTYPE_UPDATE permission.

This is a one-time fix utility that corrects two scenarios:  one is that Classic allowed these mismatches to occur and the other was a bug with Mass Load that was fixed with 6.32.0 that apparently allowed users to add mismatched payroll items if used improperly.  The procedure will allow them to view (Utilities > Payroll Item Mismatch Utility) and it will show them any payroll items that are mismatched.  If the district is not affected by this problem, the grid will be empty.  The grid also, by default, only shows mismatches related to non-archived employees.  It is optional to fix the mismatches for archived employees as it may not affect reporting or processing, particularly if the mismatch was caused while still using Classic.  The user can choose 2 ways of fixing the Payroll Item type depending on what the real type was supposed to be.  There may be cases where they will need to create a new Payroll Item Configuration to attach the Payroll Item to, as in the case where there are both Medicare and SocialSecurity payroll items attached to a single Medicare Config, with no SocialSecurity config.  So they can either change the type of the Payroll Item to match the config it is pointing to, or they can change the config that the Payroll Item is pointing to (that matches the current payroll item type).  After making these changes, it is suggested that they go to Core> Payroll Item for each of the corrected Payroll Items and verify that the information is correct.
