    An employee was due for an increase at his (then) current position this past spring, but the increase action was overlooked. In the meantime, the employee transferred to a newly created position. The employee’s director realized the errors of her ways and tried to adjust the employee’s rate, but tried to do it on his new position. Lawson returned an error: PA52 Error: "Position does not exist for entire time period"

    I know that the director should have created the increase action & associated with the employee’s previous position.

    From what I read,to get this done right: It sounds like I would be to reverse the ‘transfer to new position action’, which would allow the manager to correctly create the increase action on the old position. Once the increase action occurs, then I would have to re-create the transfer action.

    Is my thinking correct or is there any way to retro this increase on the old position, w/o having to recreate the transfer action?

    Is there some type of way to correct the effective date on the transfer that would allow the director to make the retro increase on on the correct position?

    I just to make this fix as easy as possible w/o having to create the wheel and un-doing and re-doing actions




    Thanks!!!!

      I'm not sure this will work, or that it's less work, but it is an alternative. The error is being generated because the Effective Date on the new positoin (PA02) is after the date you're using on PA52. So...

      Add a new PA02 record for the new position with a date range that includes the effective date you're using on PA52.

      Process the PA52 pay rate change.

      Delete the PA02 record you created.

      Disclaimer: I don't have time right now to test this because I have to do all the setup. If you're goign to try it, please do it in a test environment first.
