Normally, the values you define on the Payroll Optional Fields setup window display as defaults for the optional fields on records and transactions in the payroll program. However, if you have assigned the same optional fields in several areas of the payroll program, the values defined at setup may be overridden by the optional fields from those other areas.
The following table summarizes how Sage HRMS Payroll determines the default values for optional fields. Keep in mind that you can change the default value that displays on any window.
