Pay Component Sub Type Configuration

Overview

To make Pay Component Sub Types (PCST) available for use in Zone Employee Portal, it is necessary to ensure that the PCST records are correctly configured in the NetSuite account. Any changes to these records in NetSuite will be reflected and visible in Zone Employee Portal administration.

Incorrect configuration of PCST in NetSuite may result in it not being available for selection in Zone Employee Portal!

The PCST records in NetSuite are split into three logical sub-groups in Zone Employee Portal:

  1. Pay Items - available for selection against a Time Entry

  2. Allowance Types - available for selection against an Allowance

  3. Leave Types - available for selection on a Leave Request

Configuration

  1. Under Primary Info, the INACTIVE check box must be UN-MARKED

  2. Under Main, the SHOW IN TIME ENTRY check box must be MARKED

  3. Under Main, in the JURISDICTION multi-select, SELECT the desired countries for which you want to make the PCST available.

  4. Under Leave Management, the SHOW IN ESS check box must be MARKED

 

Allowance Types

To ensure an Allowance Type is available for selection in Zone Employee Portal, in NetSuite the following conditions on the PCST MUST be set:

Synchronization of changes into Zone Employee Portal

  1. In Zone Employee Portal, as an Admin, from the menu select: Administration → Integration Queue

  2. Click the blue Start Sync button

 

Reviewing configuration in NetSuite

The easiest way to review which PCSTs will be available for selection in Zone Employee Portal is to create a saved search with the required columns. To do this:

  1. Log into NetSuite using the Administrator or a Payroll role (e.g. Payroll Administrator - Unlocked).

  2. Use the global search to find the “New Saved Search” page and go to it.

  3. From the New Saved Search list, select Pay Component Sub Type

  4. Under Results (tab) > Columns (sub-tab), select all the important fields listed above (or see screenshot)

  1. Under Results (tab), set the Sort By field to “Pay Component Type”

  2. Enter an appropriate Search Title (e.g. Zone Employee Portal PCST review) and from the Save button select Save & Run

  3. Review the results with the information for each type above and fix any PCSTs that may cause an issue.
