Pay costing adjustment for auto batches error: ihelp 537963

iHelp: 451544 #13553

EMP-7912

Reported by: Venues West

Located at:

Tasks > Payroll > Payroll Processing > Pay Costing Adjustment

Issue

Auto-generated batches of 5 digits only show the first 4 digits, which causes an error when updating the costing for multiple employments.

Resolution

We made the field bigger to accommodate all 5 digits. This has resolved the issue.

Located at:

Control Tables > Payroll > Creditor Codes

Issue

EmpowerHR's Creditor Codes screen allows you to make duplicate entries without warning or error.

Fix for ODBC error in leave alerter: ihelp 567124

iHelp: 567124

EMP-9979

Reported by: City of Greater Geelong (COGG)

Located at:

Leave Alerter

Issue

An Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface error occurs when COGG staff try to access the Leave Alerter. The Alerter function attempts to insert a 70-character string into a 40-character field, resulting in the ODBC error.

Resolution

As an interim solution, the database tables are aligned so both fields are 70 characters long. (The system still displays a truncated value).

Future ODBC errors caused by character length mismatches are prevented.
