Maintain Payroll Form | Custom Data Field

Question

I'm having issues with editing the paycheck form under Utilities- Maintain Payroll Forms. I need to create a new DBMemo/DBPipeline field to show the total hours worked by the employees. At present, the data field dropdown only has total regular hours and total overtime hours, but the field for total hours is missing. I can only select from the options available in the dropdown, but cannot create a new option. Total hours (regular+ overtime+misc) would be retrieved from the employee's time cards. 
 How do I create a custom data field to source the information from the timecards and add it to the paycheck forms when the payroll is processed? or how do I edit the DataPipeline? 
 
 Need urgent help on this! 
 Thanks.

Aalia Ismail- 
 Unfortunately, I do not see an option to add a field that represents the total hours and there is no option to customize or select additional fields if they are already not available in the drop down option. The custom forms feature also does not have an option to do a calculation to manually calculate either. 
 If you need to give your employees a printout of total hours figure, as a possible workaround, you can go to PR, Reports, Check Vouchers and print a check voucher that will include that information. On the report for Check Vouchers, it does include &ldquo;Hours worked&rdquo;. 
 If you would like to see a feature considered for a future release please send your request to bwenhance@sage.com with details about the item requested. If possible, include a business reason along with the request.
