Issue/Symptom/Question

When attempting to change the Local W/h Code, PENTA shows a validation error.

Applies To

Payroll > Time Entry > Time/Equipment/Production Units Entry

Option 242 - Allow Cost Type w/ Time Entry = N

Payroll > Setup > Pay Groups, Payroll Classes and Workers Compensation > Payroll Classes

Resolution/Fix/Answer

If the TImecard is interfaced into PENTA and the Payroll Class does not have a Cost Type for Hours recorded as P1 or P2, the validation error will occur when changing any Field Values associated with those hours.  In the situation above, when the Local Withholding Code was changed, PENTA went to validate the rest of the fields.  The OT Cost Type was blank on the Payroll Class, therefore, the error occurs.  Adding the Cost Type in the Payroll Class setup resolves/prevents the Validation Error.

Note:  The same message will occur if changing the State W/h or other fields related to the hour and is not limited to the Local Withholding field.
