Per diem application parameters

Parameter Name	Description
PerDiem.allowNegativePerdiem (parm_id = 3135274)	If true, a per diem calculation that results in a negative amount is not set to zero; it retains its negative amount. The default value is false. Is Customer Editable
PerDiem.ConusDefaultIncidentalAmt (parm_id = 3032838)	This parameter sets the default amount for incidentals in the CONUS table, in dollars. This parameter is used by the per diem import process. Most CONUS per diem amounts, such as maxLodgingAmt, nonGovtMealsAmt, are supplied in a location-specific manner and vary from one location to another. The incidental amount is supplied in a location-independent manner. The incidental amount is stored in this application parameter and is used to load the CONUS table every time the per diem import process runs. This parameter should typically be changed only if the CONUS incidental amount is changed by the US government. No dependencies Is Not Customer Editable
PerDiem.displayPerdiemWithOverage (parm_id = 3133653)	If this parameter is set to true, per diems are displayed with overages on the overage tab. The default value is true. Is Customer Editable
PerDiem.enabled (parm_id = 780476)	This parameter determines whether the per diem module is enabled. Valid values are: true: The per diem module is enabled. Per Diems will work only if this is true and a valid license has been purchased. false: Per diems are disabled. They will not work even if a valid license has been purchased.

Is Not Customer Editable
PerDiem.showDeductions (parm_id = 3131840)	This parameter is used to control the visibility of the deductions column on the line item grid of ER Create, accounting pane and summary pane.

You can set this value to hour, half-hour or a number of minutes between 1 and 60 inclusive. For example, if set to 1, the start and end time are not rounded because they are only accurate to the minute. If set to 5, the start and end time are rounded to the nearest 5-minute interval before the subtraction is done; if set to half-hour, the start and end time are rounded to the nearest 30 minutes, and so on. This value also controls the items of the Time at Location combo box. For example, setting this parameter to hour creates 24 items in the combo box: 1-24. Setting this parameter to half-hour creates 48 items: 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and so on. See PerDiem.timeAtLocationRounding on how the rounding is controlled. See also PerDiem.totalTimeInterval.

The default is UP. Use this parameter to specify how times that are not exact increments of PerDiem.timeAtLocationInterval will be rounded. Can be any of the Java rounding modes: CEILING, FLOOR, UP, DOWN, HALF_UP, HALF_EVEN, or HALF_DOWN. For example, if PerDiem.timeAtLocationInterval=hour and a per diem is created with a start time of 8:00 AM and an end time of 4:30 PM, the time used to look up a rate will be 8 hours for FLOOR, DOWN, HALF_DOWN and HALF_EVEN and 9 hours for UP, CEILING AND HALF_UP.
