Changes in Webpay with regards to Salary Structure Import method.

Objective: The users of Webpay (Company Admin) can now be mapped with the template and the paycodes in the template. When the user logs in then he/she would only be able to insert the paycode which he/she is authorized to. Even if there are more paycodes in the template but you have assigned fewer to the user, the user can only insert which he/she is authorized to.
To use the above you need to do the following:
1. Map the user with the paycode in user administration section. However this process is not mandatory, if you do not wish to map the users with paycodes the process would work as earlier.
2. The user logs in and uses the import method to assign salary structure

3. The user would only be able to view the paycodes he/she is assigned with and also insert only those.
