When would you use Special Entry?

• A. To change an earning or deduction even if input is not allowed, based on the pay component's configuration
• B. To lock an input from edits
• C. To delete an input
• D. To automate entry without human intervention

Answer: (A)

Special Entry is a manual override used when a pay component is configured to restrict input, yet you need to adjust an earning or deduction anyway. It allows you to make a targeted change to that component despite the usual input restrictions, guided by the pay component’s configuration. This is useful for exceptions like retroactive corrections, off-cycle adjustments, or other non-standard pay situations where the system would normally block input. It’s not about locking inputs, deleting them, or automating entries—those would serve different purposes. So this option best describes when you use Special Entry: to change an earning or deduction even if input is not allowed, based on the pay component’s configuration.
