  2. Enter the data record with the new information in the costing of DATAflor BUSINESS again.
  3. Since this new data record has not yet been issued, it is automatically included in the next transfer if the period and client / business area are selected accordingly.

In this way you ensure that there are no discrepancies between the hourly reports in your payroll program and DATAflor BUSINESS gives.
