Creating New A/D or Hours Type Code
When modifying specific fields or deleting a Code on Allow/Deduct Code or Hours Type Code, a Warning Message will pop up. This allows you to confirm or cancel any changes you are performing:
- Continuing with the changes via ticking declaration tick-box: This confirms that you understand that the configurations you made may be used for past, present, and future transactions that may trigger retro entries to be generated for employees having the corresponding Hours Type or A/D Code.
- Cancelling the change: This removes any changes you made. You can then create a new Hours Type or A/D Code with new values in order to prevent any impact on retro entries.
