Performing a Human Resource Writer inquiry

Use Human Resource Writer Inquiry (HR70.1) to generate the output of a report on the screen. You can use this tool to ensure that the report is defined correctly and is producing the data output you need. It can also be helpful if you want to review the data on the screen and do not care to print it out.

To perform a Human Resource Writer inquiry

  1. Access Human Resource Writer Inquiry (HR70.1).
    Note: If you do not define a company in Human Resource Writer Population Selection (HR65.5), the Company field is required. If you define criteria in Human Resource Writer Title Creation, you can use this form to further limit the display of employee or applicant information.
  2. Use the following guidelines to enter field values;
    Setup Criteria

    Select whether to use the selection criteria defined on Human Resource Writer Population Selection (HR65.5) and/or Human Resource Writer Detail Selection (HR65.7).

    Select Yes to use both the population selection criteria and detail selection criteria defined on HR65.5 and HR65.7.

    Select No to use neither the population nor detail selection criteria defined on HR65.5 or HR65.7.

    Select P to use only the population selection criteria defined on HR65.5

    Select D to use only the detail selection criteria defined on HR65.7

    As Of Date

    To perform an inquiry "as of" a particular date, type the date. When you type a date in this field, the application recreates the employee record (salary, department, and so on) as it was on the date entered. If the hire date of an employee is after the "as of" date, the employee does not appear on the report or inquiry. For this feature to work, the affected fields must be logged or entered through personnel actions.

    Suppress Individual

    Select whether or not to suppress printing an individual if no qualified detail information is found for that individual. The value you enter in this field overrides the value selected in the Suppress Individual field on Human Resource Writer Detail Criteria (HR65.8).

    Select X to print only individuals for whom no detail is found. For example, you might use X to list all individuals for whom a deduction for union dues was not taken.
