Within both the Timesheet import, and Manual Timesheet screens, the system will already highlight if you are about to generate an invoice for a worker who already has an invoice created for the same week ending (w/e). Unless manually overridden, this invoice will be created with at least 1 pay interval. As such, when the recently created invoice is ran through payroll, the system will attempt to deduct an additional margin for the already processed w/e due to the logic that margin is charged based on the amount of pay intervals.

In an attempt to reduce the manual overrides for additional w/e’s in terms of margin charges, we have now introduced a setting within Company settings – Payroll settings which, when toggled on, will automatically reduce the pay interval to 0 for the most recent invoice with the matching w/e date.

*NOTE: This will only reduce the pay interval for the recent w/e if the first invoice has already been processed through the payroll engine.

By reducing the pay interval of the most recent invoice to 0 means that it will not attempt to take an additional margin charge for that week. If an invoice is created with an overall pay interval of 0 (i.e. you have only have additional hours for a previous w/e on this recent invoice), you will still need to process this with another invoice with at least 1 pay interval.
