3 1 Purpose of this Document When Payroll payslips are printed in COINS OA, one large PDF document is created that includes payslips for all employees. However, in addition to being able to print this large PDF document, the PR Print Payslips function needed to be able to generate individual PDF documents for each employee so that each smaller PDF could be ed to the correct employee. This function has therefore been enhanced to allow the ing of such individual PDF documents. Security for ing these PDF documents also needed to be considered. This has resulted in optional password protection so that you can now set up a password that must be entered by an employee before the document can be viewed. You also now have the capability to review messages and attachments prior to them being sent, depending on how you set up the SY/MSGREV parameter. When set to Y, this is done through Report Status > My Messages tab. Construction Industry Solutions, Nov 01, 2010, rev. Nov 18, 2011, Apr 27, 2012 Page 3 of 11

4 2 Configuration 2.1 Parameters PR/DEFPRN The description for this parameter is Use Printing Preferences for Printing Payroll Payslips. This Y/N parameter allows you to turn on the ability to payslips. It is a global PR parameter. PR/USESLIPPWD The description for this parameter is Use a Password when ing PR Payslips. Its Y/N or YES/NO value allows the system to be configured to password protect the PR payslip that is ed to an employee. When it is set to [blank] or NO, a password is not assigned to the PDF. This is a global PR parameter. NOTE: PR/MAILFROM If the word DEBUG is added after the Y/N value, the debug mode is turned on. This means that special debugging messages are output to the Report Generator Log file that might help Support troubleshoot issues. Examples of valid values for this parameter are: Y, YES, N, NO, YDEBUG, YESDEBUG, NDEBUG, NODEBUG. The description for this parameter is From Address. This is a parameter that allows the ability to define the From Address for the s that contain the payslips sent to the employees. This is a frequency specific PR parameter. This parameter may be used in the future by other functions generating secure s from the Payroll module. PR/MAILBCC The description for this parameter is Copy to Address. This is a parameter that allows you to specify an address to copy payslip s to. You can do department specific ones if you need to. The format of the parameter is <default bcc address> <department>=<alternative bcc>. For example: payslips@acme.com SALES=salespayslips@acme.com. SY/MSGREV The description for this parameter is Review messages before send. This Y/N parameter allows you to decide whether you would like to put outgoing messages in a queue to be reviewed. NOTE: If you have set this parameter to Y and find that your outgoing messages are not being sent, check the permissions on the startoa.sh script. Construction Industry Solutions, Nov 01, 2010, rev.

5 You can override this default for individual users in User Maintenance. This is only relevant if you are using the ESB Outbound Messages process; that is, if SY/WFMTXN is set to Y. SY/WFMTXN The description for this parameter is Workflow messages sent in transaction. This Y/N parameter allows you to decide whether you would like to use the ESB Outbound Messages feature to send faxes, s, SMS messages, and workflow messages. Depending on the setting of SY/MSGREV, you only have the ability to review messages when the SY parameter WFMTXN is set to Y. 2.2 Passwords for Viewing PDF Files COINS OA allows two passwords for viewing a PDF file. The first password, known as the user password, is used by an employee to view the PDF, and can also be used by the Payroll clerk to view the PDF. The second password, known as the owner password, is used only by COINS Support when they do not know the user password, or used to help the employee or Payroll clerk if they have lost their user password. Each PDF has a unique owner password encrypted with the Employee Number, Payroll Year, and Payroll Period. To determine an owner password, the COINS Support Representative must run the COINSplus program that prompts the user for the Employee Number, Year, and Period values, then displays the correct owner password.

7 3.2 Print Payslips Three new checkboxes, Employee Print Methods , Postal Delivery, and Hand Delivery, have been added to the Print Payslips function within each Payroll Frequency (Weekly, Monthly, Twice Monthly, 2-Weekly, and 4-Weekly). These checkboxes allow you to print only PR payslips that fall into the category of , Postal Delivery, or Hand Delivery. This allows you to print the payslips in groups that are easier to distribute to employees. Construction Industry Solutions, Nov 01, 2010, rev. Nov 18, 2011, Apr 27, 2012 Page 7 of 11
