Unable to add jobs because the total allocated is more than the pay item amount.

Hi bsaberton,

Thank you for your post, and welcome to the community forum.

In this matter, kindly ensure that the annual leave pay item has the option "Automatically adjust base hourly or base salary details" selected. This setting will automatically reduce the entered base hours and amount when you add annual leave hours in a pay run.

When you add a job, you're allocating the amount of that pay item to the job. If the job amount you enter is more than the amount paid against that pay item, you will get the error Unable to add jobs because the total allocated is more than the pay item.

Please see the attached screenshots below for your reference:

• The amount paid to the base hourly pay item is $1425.00.

• If I try to allocate the full amount to the added job before entering the annual leave hours, I'll get the error:

• If I enter the leave hours before adding a job, it reduces the base hours and amount.

Please let me know how you get along and if you require further assistance. I'm here to help.
