Mass Create or Replace Labor Schedule PTAs

The Replace Single PTA function replaces one PTA on an employee's existing Labor Schedule with a new PTA. The Create/Replace All PTAs function can be used to create Labor Schedules for employees who do not currently have one, such as a group of new hires.

Single PTA

The Replace Single PTA function replaces one PTA on an employee's existing Labor Schedule with a new PTA. This feature is useful when multiple employees need to have the same update performed; for example if one PTA is being closed and needs to be replaced with another PTA on all employees' Labor Schedules.
