Underlying File Maintenance

Prior to importing Employee Notes information, the following file maintenance areas must be completed:

  • System Administration > Installation > Payroll

  • System Administration > Installation > Payroll > Employee File Maintenance

  • System Administration > Installation > Payroll > Employee Note Topics Maintenance

Assumptions and Dependencies

  • If Company_Code is blank then use the Authorization ID default value.

  • The Employee_Code and Notes_Topic must exist in order to add the notes.

  • The Employee Notes web service has an option to append to the current Note Topic.

    • If not defined then the Notes will be replaced.

    • The formatting options available within the Notes are not supported.

  • The Notes_Text can hold up to 1000 characters total in the table therefore if appending the notes and the value of the current notes plus the web service notes exceeds the limit, the web service notes will be truncated.

  • If duplicate records exist to be updated, then they will all be updated as they are processed.
