To select through Search Criteria

Use this method, if you know just a few characters of the pay element code or the Pay element description. In the search criteria group box, specify the search criteria based on which the system will fetch the records.

To specify the search criteria, you must enter one or more characters that the pay element code or description contain. Search based on wild card characters is also supported.

To specify search criteria, enter some or all of the following fields.

Pay Element Code	To view all pay element codes containing specific characters, type in the starting character or characters of these pay element codes.
	Alternatively, type in these characters in any combination with wild cards. Example. “PYEL”, will search for those pay element codes that start with PYEL. Other examples are PYEL, PEL and PL*
Pay Element Description	To view all pay element descriptions containing specific characters, type in the starting character or characters of these pay elements.
	Alternatively, type in these characters in any combination with wild cards. Example. “PYEL*”, will search for those pay element descriptions that starts with PYEL

Select the “Search” pushbutton.

Note: If only one search criteria value is entered, the system will fetch the records that satisfy this value. If more than one search criteria value is entered, the system will fetch the records satisfying all the specified values. If you do not enter any value in the search criteria group box and select the “Search” pushbutton, the system will fetch all the records that are applicable to the selected pay element definition unit.

The multiline displays the pay element code, pay element description, alias, classification and status of the pay element records satisfying the search criteria.
You can modify the following fields in this page itself.

Pay Element Description	A unique description of the pay element.
Alias	A unique alias of the pay element.
	By means of the alias, you can enter an identifier just like the pay element code. However, you can compose the alias name to be more user-friendly than the pay element code, because the alias allows for more characters.

To select the pay element record whose details you require to modify, click on the “Select” check box corresponding to the pay element record.
