Self-Serve Utility - Update Pay/Bill Complete

Intended for transactions without paychecks or invoices within the current open accounting period, this AQ allows the user to update the pay/bill complete flags on a transaction level for transactions that are either not included in a payroll or billing batch, or both. The user enters the TransactionID from Time Entry then whether they wish to update pay complete, bill complete or both.

The utility is designed to clear individual transactions rather than whole batches.

 

Requirements

The user must have access to Admin Tools.
