Can I use the Transaction Uploader if the Earn Codes I’m uploading aren’t on the Placement’s Rate Card?
Yes, the Transaction Uploader can be used to upload any Earn Codes that are present at the corp level, even if they are not present on the Rate Card. This is possible through the Custom Rates system that was implemented into in the 2024.6 Release.
The rate on the Rate Card will always be considered the source of truth:
- If the Earn Code exists on the Rate Card, the system ignores the Pay Rate and Bill Rate from the uploader and uses the rate on the Rate Card.
- If there is an Earn Code in the uploaded file that is not on the Rate Card, the system accepts the Pay Rate and Bill Rate from the uploader as long as the Earn Code exists at the corp level.
See Transaction Uploader: Custom Rates for more information.
Can I upload Expenses through the Transaction Uploader?
