APM-8303

Payroll calculation by contract

Introduction:

This version contains the functionality that allows customers to calculate the payroll by contract and to close the payroll calculations if the contract is terminated during the payroll period. If a person works on two separate contracts during a payroll period, it is possible to process the payment for the first contract before processing the second contract. When done, you close the contract in the payroll screen, preventing the system from recalculating the payroll and changing the contract details. (contract data group)

Modifications:

Payroll Entry screen

1. Added functionality to close the contract; this means the payroll entries are “locked” for modifications, and the system stops the end user from modifying the contract details. It is only possible to close a contract if it is terminated during the current payroll period.
   It is only possible to close the first terminated contract first.

2. When a contract is closed, new payroll entries cannot be linked to it, and the system prevents the contract from being listed in the contract drop-down list.

Contract Datagroup:

-New field Closed, identifying when the contract was closed by the payroll
-Disable the possibility to modify the contract details when the contract is closed by the payroll

APM-8275

Various issues with the Berenberg bank file
