On the View Manual Transaction page, the DTA can choose to submit the displayed transaction as a PPS_LX, if applicable.

When an *EDLR (or EDAP) transaction is processed on a timesheet, the DTA should record the transaction in TRS: 1. Click on the EDLR button. 2. A pop up window will appear. If an EDLR transaction is to be completed, select EDLR Yes. If the transaction is for a final paycheck, select Final Pay. 3. Enter the date the EDLR transaction will be entered into PPS. 4. Enter any comments. 5. Select Submit. 6. The transaction will remove from the PPS Roster or VMT. 7. Go into PPS and process the EDLR or EDAP transaction. 8.
