Pre-Time Card Import Error - vaildation

We are running multiple companies and are using the import feature in Pre-Time Card Import to pull in employee time. Some of our crews are mixed with employees from 2 companies. We import all of the employee’s time into the company that "owns" the job (the "job" company). Entries for employees that are not setup in the "job" company are exported and then imported into the "employee" company. The wage codes and unions are added to the job in the "job" company. When the employee time is imported into the "job" company the record gets assigned the union and rate level from the job. This information is imported into the "employee" company's pre-time card import. The problem comes in when the wage code or union is inactive (usually not kept up to date) in the "employee" company. The employee is then  being paid at the rate of an inactive wage code or union.

We would like Pre-time Card Import validate the wage code, union, job and phase as it does for employee code or equipment code.

  We are also interested in having the pre-time card import validate the union code. Manual entry of a timecard line provides a soft warning if the union code is inactive; however, the import allows it to pull through, causing us to have to enter corrective entries. Please enhance the pre-time card import text file to at least throw entries with inactive unions into error correction so the end user can determine the correct course of action (either re-activating the union code or changing the union code on the timecard line).
