It's not required for that type of action unlesss you have some sort of unique setup. I don't suppose you have the original .uwf file?

If you're uploading to PA52.5, could it be the field(s) ending with the word "star"? I believe those would be the asterisks that display next to the fields in PA52.5 indicating the they are included in the action and can therefore be updated.

Hi. It's called Pay Rate Star. I just did a bunch of uploads this morning using PA52.5 and the feild ID for that configuration is f119
Hope that helps.

A little off track from the original question, but if you are uploading to the PA52.5 would you share a line for the upload? I can't get that one to work now -
As for the original question, I upload to PA52.1 frequently, and have never had to enter an * on the spreadsheet.

The star is only required when uploading to PA52.5, it represents the star that displays on the form after the Inquire.
I don't know if this is still true, but when I did my testing, I had to include every field on PA52.5 with the current value and the star. Very cumbersome and the reason I decided it was more trouble than it was worth.
If anyone's got PA52.5 to work without having to include every field and all the current values for those fields I'd also like to see a sample of the spreadsheet.

Can anybody help me? We could not get the PA52.1 add in to work for our annual merit increases. Looking at the documentation, it seems we needed to add some sort of column to respond to the message: "Action processed; deductions updated; continue" Any ideas?

KB Article 1037326 has how to override those sort of edit messages - as long as you're sure the data is correct, overriding the edits works great.
