Date used for pay that is not tied to a trip
There may be times when you manually enter a pay detail that has nothing to do with a trip. Although you can always enter the dollar amount manually, as an alternative you can use a line item rate to auto-calculate pay. When the system finds a line item rate that is a possible match, it compares the pay detail's transaction date to the rate's effective dates.
When a pay detail is not associated with a trip, its transaction date is determined by the method by which it is created:
If it is added in the Pay Entry window or the Advances/Misc Labor window, the transaction date, by default, is the date the pay detail was created.
If it is added to a resource’s settlement record in the Final Settlements Folder, the transaction date is determined by the settlement record’s pay period date.
