ezLaborManager requires that each edit you make to an employee's record has an edit reason code associated with it. This allows a person viewing the edit audit trail to know why an edit was made. ezLaborManager automatically assigns your company's default edit reason code (usually "EDIT") to each change you make to an employee's record. However, you also have the option to select a default edit reason code that is different from your company's default code. The code you select will then automatically be assigned to all changes you make unless you manually select a different code when you make an edit.

Note: The edit reason code you select does not delete or change your company's default reason code that is used by other supervisors and administrators in your company. The code you select is only used for edits that you make.

To select a default edit reason code:

1. In the upper right corner of any main page in the application, click the button .

2. Click Change Edit Reason on the left side of the window.

3. Under the Edit Reason section, click the button next to the Edit Reason field. The Edit Reason Lookup window opens.

4. In the list of edit reasons, click the reason you want to use as your default.

   Note: The Edit Reason Lookup window only displays the edit reason codes that have been set up by ADP for your company. You cannot create new edit reason codes. You can only select the edit reason codes that have already been defined for your company. If you feel that another code is needed, contact your supervisor.

5. Click the Submit button.

   Notes:
   If you later want to use your company's default edit reason again, go to the Options window, delete the edit reason code from the Edit Reason field so that the field is blank, and then click the Submit button. Your company's default edit reason code will then be used for all edits you make to employee records.
   
   On some pages in the application, the Edit Reason field will only be visible if you have enabled it in your Timecard Manager Preferences.
