On Friday, October 9, several Payroll Accounting reports received prompt updates. These enhancements were designed to streamline worktag and cost center hierarchy filtering, improve reporting consistency, and support future adoption within report groups.
Changes to reports in the Payroll Funding suite affected saved filters and scheduled reports. Users with saved filters or scheduled reports containing values in the affected prompts need to re-save their filters and reschedule their reports after the updates were made on 10/9. The changes listed below were implemented.
Payroll Funding, One-Time Payments:
- The Current Org Assignment Cost Center Hierarchy prompt was updated to return results based on either the employee’s organizational assignment cost center hierarchy or the one-time payment worktag cost center hierarchy.
- The Organization Assignment Values and One-Time Payment Worktags prompts were consolidated into a single prompt.
- The new prompt returned one-time payments where the specified worktag(s) were assigned either through the organizational assignment or the one-time payment worktags.
- The prompt logic was also updated to return only transactions that contained all entered worktags, rather than any entered worktag.
Payroll Funding - Period Activity Pay & Payroll Funding - Period Activity Pay - Expired Funding:
- The Org Cost Center Hierarchy and Period Activity Cost Center Hierarchy prompts were combined into a single prompt.
- Entering a cost center hierarchy returned period activity pay where the hierarchy was associated with either the organizational assignment or the period activity pay worktags.
- The Org Assignment Worktags and Period Activity Costing Worktags prompts were also merged into a single prompt.
- The underlying logic was updated to return only period activity pay that contained all entered worktags, rather than any entered worktag.
- This update also resolved an existing issue affecting the return of period activity pay with split distributions when using the Worktags prompt.
Payroll Funding - Earning Costing (Worker + Position + Earning)
- The Costing Allocation Worktags prompt was updated to correctly return costing allocations with split distributions.
- The prompt logic was also modified to return only costing allocations that contained all entered worktags, rather than any entered worktag.
Payroll Accounting Adjustments Status
- The Worktags prompt received a backend update to return adjustments that contained all entered worktags, rather than any entered worktag.
- Questionnaire data in the report output was reformatted to display one column per questionnaire answer, rather than one row per questionnaire answer.
Payroll Funding - Costing Allocations for Filled Positions
- A new prompt, All Costing Allocation Worktags (Central Use Only), was added to support use within report groups.
