Is there a way to look at the "Dollars Only" field on the time records. I can test the record for "ispayonly" and it will return either a true or false value based on "dollars only" entries. But I need to look at the content of this field.

Example: if (category = "StandBy" and DOLLARSONLY <> 200.00) {exception = "Please Verify that StandBy Dollars are $200 " }

DOLLARSONLY would be the actual field name for that "ispayonly" is testing. In this case, if it is StandBy pay, the amount that should only be $200. Anything else would trigger the exception.

Thanks!
Answer
We can do something similar were we can have the system flag any dollar amount only entries and have it only be cleared by a supervisors approval by changing a setting and writing a script to trigger this. The article on this is here Scripting - Supervisor Electronic Approval (Exception Script), and the script in the article just needs to be changed to:

if(ispayonly = true)
{
if (exceptionapproved = false)
{
exception = "Needs Supervisor Approval"
}}

This script means that if there is a pay/dollar entry it will flag an exception on the punch and will not remove the flag unless a supervisor edits the punch and puts a check mark in the "Exception Approval" box and saves the the punch.
