2020.1 - Issues fixed

The following tables list the resolutions for issues addressed in 2020.1, released on April 30th, 2020:

Drivers, templates, calc methods, and other non-reporting features

Calc Methods

Issue Description
PFB-08268 - Jobcode calc method contains formula logic in column J, row 14 [TFS 40834]

Issue: The logic error is that the value of the denominator for (PTO Alloc % for YTD) occurs at the beginning of the formula when the division calculation is 4 embedded IF-THEN conditions. If the denominator is zero, but the logic doesn't result in the associated calculation, then the result is erroneously zero and will not recognize any PTO configurations from the Labor Override driver.

Resolution: Corrected by updating the test for IF YTD PTO=0 to the correct section of the formula.

PFB-08403 - Incorrect formula for hours on row 1 of New Jobcode on Staffing tab [TFS 42165]

Issue: In the Staffing tab, the total hours for each month on row 1 of the Add New Jobcode calc method includes misplaced parentheses that causes the calculated hours for each pay type row to be less than they should be. This impacts variable job codes, as the total hours for the budget months do not tie to the annual paid hours section of each job code for the Staffing tab. This leads to understated hours on the Expense tab.

Resolution: In the Add New JobCode Block calc method, corrected by adjusting the formula so that the FTEs by row are no longer being reduced by the formula error within the Hours columns.

PFB-08406 - Unable to adjust Gross Charges for new/exst provider in Mgr Input Column [TFS 42395]

Issue: In 2019.3 when adding new providers to a plan file, users can no longer adjust Gross Revenue (no blue input cell) for the current year in the Manager Input column, which was an available functionality several versions ago. The logic in this field is similar to the Existing Provider "Manager Input logic" where it uses the (YTD Gross Charges / YTD of the chosen driver from the drop-down) multiplies by the Manager Input value of the chosen driver to calculate your gross charge adjustment. While this works in one case for existing providers, its problematic as it does not allow for additional adjustment on existing or new providers (they have zero YTD).

Resolution: Corrected the Revenue calc method by reinstating the same update as the original calc methods. Changes were made to the cells in columns L, FK, and GE for the one line Revenue calc method.

PFB-08425 - CYB Detail Description does not come into budget workbooks [TFS 42465]

Issue: In the budget workbook, users can include the current year's budget detail information from the last completed budget. In the 2019.3 version, however, the system brings over the budget amounts but not the description for RedcordIDDesc and BudComments.

Resolution: Corrected by adding fields for the two prior years (RecordIDDesc and BudComments) in the field definition row so that the text comments entered from prior budget year will be included in the plan file.

PFB-08427 - Incorrect job code description on the Jobcodes tab for KHABGTcoded Jobcodes

Issue: With the changes in 2019.3 for plan files, an issue occurs when you roll up job codes together using the KHABGTcode column. The system picks up the description of one of the higher-numbered job codes since now the system uses an AQ to bring in that data versus a using GetData.

Resolution: Corrected by updating the formula for the description to use Jobcode.KHABgtCode.Description.

PFB-08476 - Incorrect Stat Reference logic on the ProviderComp tab for CYB,YTD, RemProj [TFS 43369]

Issue: With the separation of the ProviderDetail and ProviderSummary logic (starting in 2019.3), the stat referencing formulas on the first line of the PComp block on the ProviderComp tab for CYB, YTD, and Remaining Projected were not correctly updated . If you elect to use a stat that is not the driving stat, the system correctly picks it up for the budget months, but not CYB, YTD , and Remaining Projected.

Resolution: Corrected by adjusting the calc method library formulas to identify driver setup for ProviderDetail or ProviderSummary and bring in the correct stat value if configured for a non-driver statistic. (ie...WRVUs may be the driver stat but provider comp is using Encounters).

PFB-08446 - Calendar Day description in Budget Method incorrect [TFS 44065]

Issue: In cell T87 on Expense tab, the description defaults to Calendar Days because of a cell formula error that looks to a blank cell on the Stat_Rev tab.

Resolution: Corrected by updating the formula so that "Total Key Statistic" is the description when dept statistics are used.

PFB-08607 - When an Initiative is added to a plan file, a recalculation causes a duplicate [TFS 46716]

Issue: When an Initiative is added to a plan file, recalculating the plan file causes a duplicate.

Resolution: Corrected by adding needed formulas to the Initiative block to create the unique keys keep the initiative block unique.

Drivers

Issue Description
PFB-06968 - Job class character width - labor rates not compliant [TFS 29371]

Issue: In the Labor Rates driver, the Job Class Exceptions is not compliant with the Jobcode.JobClass character width of 50. In the Labor Rates Assumptions table, column O is set for a​ 25-character width, thus not saving if the Job Class selected within the drop-down is more than 25 characters. As a result,​ the system displays an error message, and the driver will not save.

Resolution: Corrected by updating the string from 25 to 50 in column JC in Labor Rates.

PFB-07685 - Driver-Global Expense Import update to use CONCAT [TFS 37138]

Issue: Transform 2 should be modified n the Global Expense import because it currently concatenates department and account using the + string concatenation. This is not as flexible as CONCAT and sometimes returns errors if the source data for ACCT and DEPT are large integers. Using CONCAT converts every value to a string before concatenation.

Resolution: Corrected by changing the transform step 4 to the recommended CONCAT function.

Budget Provider Driver: Errors upon save due to the length of the department description [TFS 38578]

Issue: The provider driver department description is len(50), while the department dimension description is len(100). The difference causes a save error and prevents the driver from saving.

Resolution: Corrected by increasing the description field length to 100.

PFB-08065 - Driver 12 Budget Revenue GlobalRevenue header displays "Account Description" while it contains Acct and Dept descriptions [TFS 39795]

Issue: The definition in Column S is Dept.KHABgtMap.Description, but row 46 description displays "Account Description" when it should display "Description".

Resolution: Corrected by changing "Account Description" to "Description".

PFB-08130 - Provider - VolSum produces incorrect results for YTD [TFS 40478]

Issue: When bringing in the YTD volume for the provider, the Field Definition Row is set to pull in YTD and this can change during the budget process if a second save needs to occur due to volume changes. Cell N27 should be referencing the Variables tab and cell 11 for the Budget YTD period.

Resolution: When bringing in the YTD volume for the provider, the Field Definition Row is set to pull in YTD and this can change during the budget process if a second save needs to occur due to volume changes. Cell N27 now references the Variables tab and cell 11 for the Budget YTD period. This replaces using the system YTD, which can change over the budget period. The second issue was corrected for the Rem Volume column by deleting the formula in O25 so that is uses the calculation in O26 instead, which takes the total minus YTD to get the projection versus using ProjCalc.

PFB-08245 - Driver-Depreciation import transform issue - change {template} to {temptable} [TFS 40646]

Issue: The table variable in transform 3 of the Driver-Depreciation import is {template}; it should be {temptable}.

Resolution: Corrected by updating the transform step to temptable.

PFB-08288 - Labor Config: NotUsed in Paytype column [TFS 41087]

Issue: The new data validation for Jobcode and Paytype do not allow for NotUsed as an option unless the driver is unprotected and it is manually entered. This is problematic because all the Hide Row logic in the plan file is looking for NotUsed in the Paytype column to determine if a row should be Visible or Hidden. This would not be an issue for a client with a rolled over File Group that had NotUsed previously listed, but any new system or changes would be problematic as most clients do not have the access to overwrite like that.

Resolution: Corrected by updating the picklists to select 'NotUsed' as an option.

PFB-08287 - Labor Config: Lump sum payout missing desc [TFS 41088]

Issue: The new format of Labor Config no longer includes a description for the Lump Sum Payout line. As a result, it now displays in the plan file with a zero instead of a description.

Resolution: Corrected by updating cell Q83 to be an input cell in the Labor Configuration tab.

PFB-08360 - 02 Budget Labor Config driver is missing feature that inserted Global section [TFS 41742]

Issue: The logic to default a newly inserted budget group to the values in Globals was missing. This was a feature added in 2019.3, which included cell logic that if the current budget group row was blank, then use Global. The driver was inadvertently reverted to a version where this logic was not present.

Resolution: Corrected by restoring the driver and calc method library from the correct version.

PFB-08438 - Budget Labor Configuration does not correctly calculate the Global Hours in Period Global Hours Per FTE Convention is "Default" AND the year is a leap year [TFS 43780]

Issue: The Budget Labor Configuration driver does not correctly calculate the Global Hours in Period when Global Hours Per FTE Convention is "Default" AND the year is a Leap Year.

Resolution: Corrected by updating multiple formulas in the Budget Labor Configuration driver and the Budget Group calc method.

PFB-08456 - AQ9 on Budget Statistics driver should filter for selected budget groups [TFS 43782]

Issue: When refreshing the Budget Statistics Driver, AQ9 displays a warning that the number of records retrieved exceeds the maximum allowed, even when only one budget group was selected.

Resolution: Corrected by adjusting the data filter for AQ9 to consider the budget group selected in the refresh variable.

PFB-08455 - Add rounding to ChgPct and VariancePct formulas in Budget Statistics driver [TFS 43783]

Issue: The system displays a data conversion error when refreshing the Budget Statistics driver (AQ9) due to large decimal values in the ChgPct column in the table.

Resolution: Corrected by updating the formula in column AS to include round logic out to 10 decimals. This will prevent the large integer errors caused by division issues of very small values.

PFB-08498 - ProviderList driver does not save all changes due to error in logic in Save tag [TFS 45449]

Issue: The system does not save all changes to the Provider List.

Resolution: Corrected by updating the save logic on the affected rows.

PFB-08585 - Paytype Description on roll ups in Labor Config not correct [TFS 46720]

Issue: With the move to 2019.3, the Paytype field for the Prod and Non Prod categories in the Labor Config Driver changed from an input field to a GetDataElement. The issue that shows up is the description for the paytype listed may belong a child pay type of it.

Resolution: Corrected by concatenating PAYTYPE.JobCode=PAYTYPE.Paytype to all four data sources ,which now brings in the correct description for the category.

Jobcode Description on roll ups in Labor Config not correct [TFS 47020]

Issue: In 2019.3, the Jobcode field in the Labor Config Driver changed from an input field to a GetDataElement. The issue that shows up is the incorrect description for the job code listed may belong to a job code that was not the rolled up job code.

Resolution: Corrected by concatinating Paytype.Paytype PAYTYPE.JobCode=PAYTYPE.Paytype to all four data sources, which now brings in the correct description for the rolled up job code.

Task Panes

Issue Description
PFB-08473 - PayrollGLMapping Duplicate in BudAdmin task pane [TFS 43785]

Issue: The feature PayrollGLMapping is located in both the Budget System Maintenance and Budget Reporting section of the Bud Admin task pane.

Resolution: Corrected by removing the duplicate from the Budget System Maintenance section.

PFB-08474 - Budget Video in Budgeting EU Task Pane outdated - please remove [TFS 43787]

Issue: Please remove the video titled "View Budget Introduction Video" from the Budgeting End User task pane as this video is out of date and clients should navigate to the Axiom Knowledge Base Library in the online help.

Resolution: Corrected by removing the video from task pane, including the entire budget instructions section, and unassigned the budget video from the package.

Templates

Issue Description
PFB-08252 - Jobcode tab: Jobcode Summary calc method does not calculate CYB FTE [TFS 40647]

Issue: When using CYB_FTE as the comparison on Jobcode, the new summary section of the Jobcode does not contain the logic to include CYB_FTE.

Resolution: After identifying that column K calculated "FTE Comparison to YTD", which was derived from the Labor Config driver setting for JobCode and Employee labor tabs, corrected by adjusting the sum logic in total sections for JobCode summary blocks to identify values in details section. The Summary sections utilize logic to retrieve sums of details instead of retrieving values directly from the table with the setup of Axiom UDF ReapplyCurrentViews.

PFB-08311 - Incorrect department used in column CK/CL of Staffing tab for Dollar pay types[TFS 41201]

Issue: On the Staffing tab, when employing the use of KHABGTMap depts, dollar only pay types on these job code blocks may not show the correct dept (shows KHABGTCode Dept), thus preventing the flow of the data to the Expense tab if the account happens to be different than the home department. This may create an out of balance condition in the workbook between the Expense and Staffing tab as well as inaccurate financial reporting.

Resolution: Corrected by adjusting the calc method library formulas in columns CK and CL to look to the dept used for that specific job code versus the host department.

PFB-08328 - Retirement is not calculating correctly in the JOBCODE calc method [TFS 41843]

Issues:

  1. On the Jobcode and ProviderComp tabs, YTD Retirement Calculation for salary for the prior year was understated due to not including the per/FTE component.
  2. On the Jobcode and ProviderComp tabs, the retirement calculation for month 1 of the calendar year may not calculate due to comparing erroneously to YTD of prior year.

Resolution:

  1. In the Jobcode and Provider calc methods, corrected by updating the formulas in column BG and LineRef Jobcode 29 to divide by the FTEs to convert the formula to salary per FTE.
  2. In the Jobcode and Provider calc methods, corrected by adding logic to test for month 1 and apply the retirement limits to just that month.
PFB-08358 - Contract Provider Labor not flowing to Expense tab [TFS 41850]

Issue: In 2019.3, the Contract Provider lines of the Provider template > ProviderComp tab do not flow to the Expense tab for the corresponding dollars and hours accounts listed in columns CK and CL. These lines flow to the ProviderCompData tab for account zero, which is not picked up on the Expense tab.

Resolution: Corrected by implementing logic in the Provider template > ProviderComp tab similar to other sections in order to flow data from the static Contract Provider line items to the Expense tab for Acct and HrsAcct.

PFB-08496 - Proj Dllrs col for OT row incorrect formula for rate for PA/PC FTEs [TFS 43616]

Issue: When moving to 2019.3, we changed the formula logic in the Projected Dollars column of the Jobcode Block on the Jobcode tab to factor in the rate for FTEs that are Program Additions or Position Changes. There is a missing component in this formula on the OT row which could lead to understating projected dollars if you add FTEs or overstate if you remove FTEs because the rate used does not factor in the 1.5 times the rate used on the Program Addition and Position Change lines.

Resolution: Corrected so that when removing FTEs from the productive and non-productive rows, each row will refer to it's own rate. For example, if backing out 1.0 FTEs and rows like overtime were used, the dollars will be backed out at the overtime rate as defined by the percentage used in column F of the jobcode block for that row. This update will include any rates used in the Program Additions and Program Changes rows.

PFB-08507 - Employee tab: Add New Pay Type calc methods [TFS 43870]

Issue: The PayrollGLMapping does not work correctly due to an formula issue in column DK.

Resolution: Corrected by updating the formulas for row range extension to 2500 (alleviating concerns of clients with workbooks that exceed this row count, causing the formula to once again break) in the Employee calc method.

PFB-08510 - When adding a new job code block to a plan file, the user saves, closes, and upon re-opening the plan file, the new job code is duplicated [TFS 44019]

Issue: When adding a new job code block to a plan file, the user saves, closes, and upon re-opening the plan file, the new job code is listed twice. The issue was related to the new job code being added below the insert new job code command row. The newly added job code erroneously became a persistent part of the tab.

Resolution: By moving the insert command to the same row and the insert prompt, this updated the range so that newly added job codes were within the rebuildable part of the labor tab.

PFB-08516 - GL Account from Jobcode table not picked up on new job codes [TFS 44021]

Issue: With the changes in 2019.3, we modified our lookup logic for pulling GL account information on the Jobcode tab. If clients do not use the PayrollGLMapping table or Paytype table for GL Accounts, when a job code is added manually on the Jobcode tab or by setting the NYBKHA in the ActPay27 table to 1 to interface in, it does not bring in the account from the Jobcode table, thus dollars and hours cannot flow to the Expense tab.

Resolution: Corrected by incorporated RelatedColumnValues for the JobCode block calc method to populate the additional required fields. These column values are now resident in the Jobcode calc method so that the lookup to the Jobcode.StdHours, Jobcode.HRAcct and Jobcode.GLAcct are established.

PFB-08500 - AQ1 not active for ProviderSum tab

Issue: With the changes made in moving to 2019.3, AQ1 on the ProviderSummary tab is hardcoded to Off. As a result, the system will not bring in the current settings from the Provider Config Driver.

Resolution: Corrected by replicating ProviderDetail!AQ1 in ProviderSummary!AQ1 since they used the same parameters.

PFB-08595 - Detail calc method on Stat_Rev tab includes incorrect formula for History spread [TFS 44216]

Issue: On the Stat_Rev tab, when selecting History as the spread method for an account, the formulas for columns Z:AK, may not spread to all months. The formula references the Configuration tab to look for periods after the YTD period used would refer to months form the current year. These values should refer to the prior year.

Resolution: Corrected the formula in cells AZ5:BK5 in the Configuration tab to use prior year periods when later than the YTD period used.

PFB-08431 - Pay types for Global Benefits not being reflected in Col DN of PComp tab [TFS 44474]

Issue: In 2019.4, the logic to show the proper pay type for Global Benefit lines on the ProviderComp tab may not return the expected paytpes due to a missing parameter in one of the AQs.

Resolution: Corrected by updating the related AQ on the Drivers tab of the plan file.

PFB-08532 - Provider List driver - Global Salary [TFS 44475]

Issue: When using Global Benefit rows from the Provider List driver, the values would not spread correctly in rows 2 thru 5 of global benefit rows on the ProviderComp tab. The issue was related to a range reference that was not locked to the needed row.

Resolution: Corrected by making formula update to rows two thru five of the global benefit section.

PFB-08531 - Provider Comp tab - Summary View there are no totals for the FTEs or hours, even after saving [TFS 45356]

Issue: When working on the ProviderComp tab and everything is in summary view, no totals for the FTEs or hours display - even after saving.

Resolution: Corrected by doing the following:

  • Mirrored the "Total" tags identified in column CP in new column location (column CJ) for the template and Provider block calc methods.
  • Adjusted the logic for Hours, FTEs, and FICA to reference column CJ instead of column CP to display on the summary section of the calc method.
PFB-08653 - Duplicate provider blocks appear in ProviderSummary sheet when provider does not have history

Issue: A user adds a new provider to the PROVIDER table and drivers, and then inserts the Add New ProviderSummary calc method on ProviderSummary for the provider. The user then adds data and saves the plan file. The next time the plan file is opened, the provider block displays twice, resulting in recalculation errors due to duplicate keys.

Resolution: ProviderSummary uses a single calc methods for interfaced and add new. Persistent plan file requires key for add new once the record is saved to the db. If key does not exist, insert/update AQ will populate record found in table and persistent record with other save rows produce a save error. Incorporated formula to derive keys for AQ7.

PFB-08666 - Employee tab duplicate new job codes [TFS 46452]

Issue: In the Employee tab, a row displays in each job code block right above “Click here to insert new paytype”, causing a defect in the JobCode calc method.

Resolution: Corrected by changing the formula in the row 24 of the job code block of the Employee tab that was referencing the same key filed causing the duplicate.

PFB-08546 - Fixed Adjustments to Target totals on JOBCODE do not sum correctly [TFS 46545]

Issue: When using the Fixed Adjustment rows of the self balancing option, the row reference was incorrect resulting in the adjustment not being recognized.

Resolution: This issues resolved when resolving an issue with Add New jobcode which corrected the last row range reference.

PFB-08708 - Duplicate Patient Rev rows in Initiatives tab after recalculation [TFS 46717]

Issue: When opening the Initiatives tab and inserting New Patient Revenue calc method, the Patient Revenue block is duplicated after recalculating or refreshing the plan file. What was occurring was that one of the rows in the clac method referenced a key save back row two rows above causing the duplicate.

Resolution: Corrected by identifying AQ4 for patient-related calc methods, column BQ required key reference adjustments to the same line.

PFB-08586 - Hide columns BU and BV when "Budget Hide Salaries" role is assigned [TFS 46721]

Issue: When a user is a member of Budget Hide Salaries and navigates to the Jobcode sheet, the start rates are hidden when scrolling to column BU and BV.

Resolution: Corrected by implementing the proposed [hidecolumn] logic similar to formulas identified in column G for multiple views. Determination for role based views located on Variables tab.

PFB-08631 - FIF: Employee tab - Dept Level Budgeting [TFS 46746]

Issue: In previous versions, Dept Level Pay populated on the Employee tab through AQ7 with the start/stop tags in column EE. In the Master Template in the 2019.4 release, the Dept Level Pay uses AQ8. Column EE on the template references AQ7, which is no longer correct.

Resolution: Updated the formula to use Dept Pay AQ to use AQ8.

Utilities

Issue Description
PFB-08323 - Budget Deductions utility - Total Patient Days - Globals row [TFS 41841]

Issue: In Budget Deductions utility (Reports Library\Budgeting Utilities\Balance Sheet & Deductions\Budget Deductions), on the Total Patient Days - Globals row (row 116 in template), there is a formula reference to the incorrect month in the monthly columns AL:AW.

Resolution: Corrected the formula Budget_Deductions!AL116 and copied it to Budget_Deductions!AM116:AW116.

PFB-08499 - Stat_Rev OthStat Locate Method [TFS 45553]

Issue: The formula in Column AY of the Non-Key Statistics section determines which key stat a given non-key stat should follow as a corresponding driving statistic. The three choices are IP, OP, Oth. KeyOth should be referenced with row 61 instead of 63.

Resolution: Corrected by updating the formula in the Stat Rev tab and the Add New Statistic_Oth calc method so that the use of KeyOth will be recognized.

Workbooks

Issue Description
PFB-08560 - Add New ProviderComp not updating to Expense tab (PayrollGLMapping) [TFS 44074]

Issue: When using PayrollGLMapping table and adding a new provider via the Insert option and then saving the ProviderComp part, the expectation is that the new values will display on the Expense tab. The core issue was that while in a current session of a provider plan file, the update to the Expense tab was not being seen immediately upon save. The plan file had to be closed and reopened. This has been corrected.

Resolution: Corrected by incorporating similar logic from the ProviderComp calc method to the Add New Provider calc method for columns IH, IJ-IK, IX, and IW.

Reports

Budget Analysis

Issue Description
\Axiom\Reports Library\Budgeting Reports\Budget Analysis\Budget Salary Rate Analysis.xlsx

Issue: PFB-07466 - Budget Salary Rate Analysis Report [TFS 34926]

Symptom: The issue is that the filter of Acct.FSSummary=’E_Salaries’ can be too broad and may include Benefits there by​ skewing the salary rate. The AQ2 filter needs to be updated to include a filter for Acct.FSDetail='E_Salaries'.

Resolution: Columns T, V, X, and Z included a filter and column reference change to use FSDetail instead of FSSummary.

\Axiom\Reports Library\Budgeting Reports\Initiatives Analysis\Budget Income Summary-Initiative Monthly.xlsx

Issue: PFB-08503 - Budget Income Summary-Initiative Monthly [TFS 45554]

Symptom: In the Budget Income Summary-Initiative Monthly report, the Hide Row formula only refers to column I instead of the columns I:U.

Resolution: Corrected by updating formulas in the following sheet ranges: D20:D23, D26:D30, D32, D34, D36, D39:D55, D57, D60:D65, D67, D69, D72:D73

Budget Utilities

Issue Description
Axiom\Reports Library\Budgeting Utilities\Budget Reconciliation\ PayTYpe Mapping Analysis

Issue: PFB-08303 - PayType Mapping Analysis - Description lookup to Driver [TFS 41470]

Symptom: The pay type description formula needs to include the BudgetGroup.

Resolution: Corrected by updating the formula for the description of each productive and non-productive section to reference the budget group from the Labor Config driver if it exists. Default is Global section of Labor Config.

Management Reporting - Utilities

Issue Description
\Axiom\Reports Library\Management Reporting Utilities\Data Audit\Standard Data Assessment.xlsx

Issue: PFB-07826 - Report: Standard Data Assessment Report - RU Columns [TFS 37715]

Symptom: Review of the Standard Data assessment indicated Rev Usage warnings for data when Rev Usage was loaded.

Resolution: Corrected by removing the data filter for AQ1 and placing it on the column data field in AJ3 as a data filter for that column.

Management Reporting - Report Packages

Issue Description

Reports

Issue Description
PFB-08657 - Monthly Forecast Utility dividing OP Rev by days when IP Stats = 0 [TFS 47624]

Issue: The forecasting utility contained a logic error for a department that had OP stats but no IP stats and noticed that the OP Rev formula in column AA was checking for IP stats (i.e. none) and therefore dividing the YTD by days, instead of by the OP Stat. The formula is hardcoded to look for zeros in cell AG20 (IP STAT) rather than OP or Oth, as appropriate.

Resolution: Updates the formula logic to look for OutPatient and Other stats before defaulting to calendar days.

Templates

Issue: On the ProviderComp tab, we changed how we save the ProviderComp salary value for used in the Salaries Do Not Match flag on the Expense tab. Since ProviderComp is now a PFP, we saved this value using pseudo codes for Jobcode, EmpID, Paytype and RecordID. The provider salary value was not being saved to the database to be used in the Salaries Do Not Match flag.

Resolution: Updated the save to database logic to successfully save the total ProviderComp salary value to the Bud Pay12 Supporting Detail table.
