When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.

Enter, or click , to select the Ceridian configuration ID to be used.

The value you enter in this field determines the Ceridian company ID that populates the ASCII file. It also determines the format of Ceridian employee IDs. The format is specified in the Manage Ceridian Configuration screen.

If you are a Ceridian Signature user, the value entered here also determines the Ceridian Sub-Company that populates the ASCII file.

After you enter an ID in the Ceridian Configuration ID field, these fields display the information you entered in the Manage Ceridian Configuration screen.

From the drop-down list, select the Ceridian product you are using. Valid options are:

• Source 500 Series

Select this check box to include type C (Correcting) timesheets in the download process. If you do not select this check box, only type R (Regular) timesheets and type B (Bonus) timesheets are processed. The default setting is selected.

Select this check box to set the Payroll Posted Flag (PR_POSTED_FL) in the Timesheet Header table to Y (posted) after a timesheet has been successfully downloaded. If you do not select this check box, the Payroll Posted Flag setting is unaffected by this application.

If you do not have Costpoint Payroll installed, this check box is permanently selected and non-editable (that is, the Payroll Posted Flag is always selected after a successful timesheet export). If you do have Costpoint Payroll installed, this check box is cleared by default, allowing you to process Costpoint Payroll in parallel with Ceridian.

Select this check box if you want to override the normal account/pay type links set up in the Ceridian Mapping subtask of the Manage Ceridian Configuration screen for a type B (Bonus) timesheet. When you select this check box, all timesheet lines in a bonus timesheet are exported with a Ceridian pay code of 8, which instructs Ceridian to generate a separate check. The default setting is to export bonus timesheets as a separate check.

If you do not select this check box, bonus timesheets are processed in the same fashion as regular and correcting timesheets. A bonus timesheet line is exported with a Ceridian pay code of 8 only if the account or pay type on that line has been linked to pay code 8 in the Ceridian Mapping subtask of the Manage Ceridian Configuration screen.

This check box is selected by default, to indicate that the audit report prints upon processing.  If you clear this check box, only the error report is generated during processing.

Enter the file name to be used when creating the Ceridian export file. If an existing file name is entered, the application overwrites its contents when the export process begins.

Enter, or click to select, the alternate file location where you want to store the export file. Alternate file locations are set up on the Manage Alternate File Locations screen.

Enter the Ceridian pay period for this processing cycle. The system uses this value to populate the Ceridian Signature export file.

Click to print the audit and error reports. The export file creation process does not take place nor is the Payroll Posted Flag set if you selected the Set Payroll Posted Flag check box.

Click to print the audit and error reports, generate the Ceridian export file, and (if you selected the Set Payroll Posted Flag check box) set the Payroll Posted Flag for processed timesheets to Y (posted.)
