View Invalid Transactions Page

Use this page to view and correct invalid time and attendance transactions and payroll adjustments.

Open Data Interface (ODI) imports can be one of several sources of invalid transactions. When importing transactions through the ODI, you can choose whether to validate department-position and badge number information. Your ADP consultant or the TimeSaver Solution Center activates your choice. If you choose to validate the data, transactions with departments, positions, and badge numbers that do not match current information in the TimeSaver database are rejected. If you choose not to validate that data, it passes through the ODI and shows in the View Invalid Transactions module. Turning off validation is helpful if you expect employees to change department-position combinations frequently.

TimeSaver uses a governor (a control mechanism) to specify the number of items that can be displayed following a search. For more information, see Limitation of the Number of Search Results Displayed.

TimeSaver uses three labor levels and provides flexibility for naming the labor levels. Throughout TimeSaver documentation you will see the default names for the levels: Site, Department and Position. If you see a different name on your TimeSaver web page, it is because your organization is using the flexible labelling feature. For more information, see Labels for Labor Levels.

For more information, see the View Invalid Transactions Overview.
