Items are not retained in drop-down lists

Description has a special character or selection removed in either GL batch, Leave maintenance, Super Processing or Additions and Deductions Report

Updated over a month ago

Tick not staying or item no longer selected in the following:

  • Addition or deduction code in the General Ledger batch

  • Addition or deduction code in the Leave setup

  • Addition or deduction code in the Additions and Deductions Report

  • Super fund in Superannuation Processing

If the description of an Addition, Deduction, or Super Fund has a special character, then you may have problems when you select it in General Ledger, Leave, Reports, or Superannuation Processing. The item either can't be selected or won't remain selected.


Descriptions can contain spaces, numbers, or letters, but can't have commas. You may also have problems if the description includes brackets or dashes.
​
You can also experience the same problem if multiple components use the same description, e.g:

  • two additions

  • an addition and a leave reason

  • an addition and a pay component

To fix the issue, update the Description so that it is unique and doesn't contain commas, etc.

  1. Go to Payroll, Maintenance, General, Additions and Deductions.

  2. Edit the component you need to update.

  3. Update the Description.

  4. Click OK to save.

Update Superannuation Fund:

  1. Go to Payroll, Maintenance, Superannuation, Fund.

  4. Click OK to save.
