Batch create for payslip missing employee column

1

Hi, I am using Manager Version 23.10.20.1089 (monitored this issue since 23.10.20.1077).

Using Batch Create for Payslip entry is not showing Employee column where hexadecimal code was required earlier.

In the past, following were the columns required:

Date | Reference | description | employee | ExchangeRate | ExchangeRateIsInverse | Earnings.1.Item | Earnings.1.Description | Earnings.1.Units | Earnings.1.UnitPrice | Deductions.1.Description | Deductions.1.DeductionAmount | Contributions.1.Description | Contributions.1.ContributionAmount | ShowTotalsForThePeriod | TotalsPeriodStart | CustomTheme | AutomaticReference | HasPayslipCustomTitle | PayslipCustomTitle | HasPayslipFooters | Earnings.2.Item | Earnings.2.Description | Earnings.2.Units | Earnings.2.UnitPrice | Key

Currently, following columns are required:

Date | Reference | description | ExchangeRate | ExchangeRateIsInverse | Earnings.1.Description | Earnings.1.Units | Earnings.1.UnitPrice | Deductions.1.Description | Deductions.1.DeductionAmount | Contributions.1.Description | Contributions.1.ContributionAmount | ShowTotalsForThePeriod | TotalsPeriodStart | CustomTheme | AutomaticReference | HasPayslipCustomTitle | PayslipCustomTitle | HasPayslipFooters

While, I understand that some columns are removed because they are not required, Employee columns is a must I believe. Please check.

Some columns are not shown by default in batch create, probably because many users do not use that variable.

To find the columns and labels you need

  • first enter representative data manually directly in to Manager.
  • Do a batch update to see the columns, labels, and detailed data format required
  • Note batch update and batch create differ only in the later has a “Key” feild

That I have checked. Batch Update shows the Employee Column but Batch Create doesn’t. That’s the major issue.

Here are the fields in the Batch Update

Date | Reference | description | employee | ExchangeRate | ExchangeRateIsInverse | Earnings.1.Item | Earnings.1.Description | Earnings.1.Units | Earnings.1.UnitPrice | Deductions.1.Description | Deductions.1.DeductionAmount | Contributions.1.Description | Contributions.1.ContributionAmount | ShowTotalsForThePeriod | TotalsPeriodStart | CustomTheme | AutomaticReference | HasPayslipCustomTitle | PayslipCustomTitle | HasPayslipFooters | Earnings.2.Item | Earnings.2.Description | Earnings.2.Units | Earnings.2.UnitPrice | Key

So enter it in your batch create

Why

If you think the employee label is the only such case, you have not looked hard enough.

Already tried. It ignores the column.

Because it seems to be a bug and payslip batch create is not working.

I am sure that there may be other issues… for now I can notice only one. Been using Manager for 7 years now and haven’t seen such a bug.

OK. Found the solution. The column name is “employee” and not “Employee” It’s the case which created the problem. Adding the column “employee” worked fine.
