Fields

The following table lists the fields displayed on the Position category and earning code mapping page.

Field	Description
Valid for position	Indicates whether the mapping needs to be for a Position, Position group or both. You can select one of the following values based on your requirement: Table - For mapping a Position record. Group - For selecting a Position group record. All - For mapping a Position or a Position group record.
Position	Select a Position or Position group, or leave it blank based on the value selected in the Valid for position field. You can select one of the following values: Position and its description when Table is selected. Position group and its description when Group is selected. None when All is selected.
Valid for category	Indicates whether the mapping needs to be for a Project category or all project categories. You can select one of the following values based on your requirement: Table - For mapping a Project category. All - For mapping all project category
Category	Select a Category or leave it blank based on the value selected in the Valid for category field. When the Valid for category is Table, this field lists the Category, Category name and Transaction type. Note: This field lists only the categories that are configured with the Transaction type as Hourly in the Project category form.
Earning code	Displays a list of active earning codes configured in D365 Finance & Operations or Anthology Payroll based on the value configured in the Earning code source field on the Timesheet tab of the Project management and accounting parameters page. When the Earning code source field is... Active earning codes from... Payroll D365 Finance & Operations are displayed. Anthology Payroll Anthology Payroll are displayed. When the Earning code source field is Manual, you can manually enter an earning code, which will not be validated against the Earning code in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations or Anthology Payroll. Note: If a Project Category used in a timesheet is not mapped to an Earning code, a validation condition in the timesheet workflow may be triggered. This validation does not block submission but highlights the missing mapping.

Workflow Validation Behavior

The Position Category and Earning Code Mapping is used in timesheet workflows to validate Project Category and Earning code alignment.

• A workflow validation condition can be configured in the Workflow editor.

• During timesheet submission, the system checks whether the selected Project Category has a corresponding Earning code mapping.

• If no mapping exists, the workflow condition is triggered.

• This validation does not prevent timesheet submission, but provides visibility for correction during workflow processing.
