Issue/Symptom/Question

We have a system in place outside of Penta where we review and approve the bank information for PR so we do not send pre-notes to the bank. Currently the system default in PR when a new bank account is setup is to default to "N" meaning 'Pre-note needs sent'. How can we change the default to be an "A" for "Approved for Live Transmission"? Thanks!

Or, if we could find the place in he EMP interface file where we could put this as a field or an optional field we'd add it there. Make it be an "A" for all EMP records that come over to Penta. Is that possible?

Resolution/Fix/Answer

The direct deposit pre-note is defaulted to N. If manually entering the pre-note information, set the status to A.

You can have it interfaced in as A - depending on which interface process you used, the field of PRE_NOTE_STAT_CD can be set to A - below is information from the Reference Manual:

For interface method of Pipe-Delimited:
 
Interfaces > Interface Guide > Pipe Delimited Method > Employee EMP Detail Record. Optional EMP Detail Fields (place after Field 37) - PRE_NOTE_STAT_CD = A. 
 
Or if using the table driven method:
 
Interfaces > Interface Guide > Table Driven Method > Employee Detail Record. This relates to the INTR_HR_EMP table - the column is PRE_NOTE_STAT_CD should be set to A.
