Error adding new Employee Accrual record



Description of Issue

I am trying to add new accruals to several employees and receive an error stating record exists for this employee/job class/type. Use update to edit.

Context
  • Munis
  • Employee Accruals
  • Job Class Master
  • Position Control
Cause

Employee Accrual records were already added. Munis will not allow the user to add the same accrual type to an employee if the site doesn't use job based accruals.

Resolution

Add an accrual history record to update the available balance as necessary:

  1. Access Employee Accruals: Payroll > Employee Maintenance > Employee Accruals
  2. Search for the employee and accrual type
  3. Click History
  4. Click Add
  5. Enter the Accrual Type, Table, Start Date, End Date
  6. Enter a comment if you want in the Comment field
  7. TAB into the Earned field and enter the desired amount you want to increase the available balance by
  8. Select 1 - ACCRUAL EARNED for the Reason code
  9. Click Accept
Additional Information

When adding the base pay record into Employee Job/Salary Munis will evaluate the Types screen in Position Control if being used, if Position Control is not being used, or no Types are defined in Position Control, Munis will then look to the Types screen in the Job Class record. Anything listed in the Types screen for pays, deductions and accruals will automatically be added to the employee after the base pay has been added into Employee Job/Salary. If your site does use job based accruals, an employee can be assigned the same accrual type twice as long as the job class is different on both records.
