Processing group
Processing groups combine process levels in order to process and report on Payroll, Benefits Administration, and Time Accrual, regardless of their tax reporting IDs.
You can change processing groups at any time. If you use a processing group during any step in the payroll cycle, Infor recommends that you use the same processing group throughout the entire payroll cycle.
Example
Two Rivers has five separate clerks who process payroll for specific groups of employees within the company. Jane processes for Two Rivers Headquarters, Tom processes for the hospitals and clinic, Ray processes for River Bend Flowers and Gifts, Pat processes for Grove Flowers and Gifts, and Dawn processes for River Bend Restaurant and Grove Cafe.
Tom typically processes payroll for the hospitals and clinic as one group and, therefore, sets up a processing group so that he does not have to run the payroll cycle separately for each process level.
Dawn usually processes each restaurant's payroll separately, but she might process bonus runs together at times. Therefore, Dawn sets up a processing group for her two process levels to process her bonus sums.
