To assign direct deposit distributions for Canada employees

  1. Access Direct Deposit Distribution (PR12.1).
  2. Select the Company and Employee.

    The direct deposit distribution record that is selected as the default is always the last record processed. If partial auto deposit is selected, the remaining dollars are distributed to the check.

  3. Use these guidelines to enter field values:
    Distribution Order

    Specify the order in which to take the direct deposit distributions. You can leave this field blank, but the direct deposit distribution will not be taken until there is an order number in this field.

    Country

    Select a different country code to set up a direct deposit distribution for future use. If you do not select a country code, the country code from the employee record is the default.

    To retain history on an employee's direct deposit distributions, inactivate a current distribution by removing Xs from all pay cycle fields and adding a new direct deposit distribution with a new number in sequence.

  4. Select the Canada tab to assign direct deposit distributions for Canada employees. Use the following guidelines to enter field values:
    Institution Number

    Type the institution number of the bank where Payroll sends the direct deposit payment.

    Transit Number

    Type the transit number of the bank branch to which Payroll sends the direct deposit payment.

    Bank

    The bank name for the Receiving DFI displays, if the description exists on Employee Bank Maintenance (PR12.4). You can type a description to override this description at the employee level.

    The description is printed on direct deposit receipts and on payments in the case of a partial direct deposit.

    Account

    Type the bank account number where deposits are made.

    Payment Description

    Type the description of the direct deposit distribution that you want to print on the payment stub or payment receipt for the employee. This description also prints on the report created by Earnings and Deductions Calculation (PR140).

    If this distribution has Canada as its country code, this field is required.

    Flat Amount

    If the employee wants a specific amount automatically deposited, type the amount and leave the Percent of Net field blank.

    Percent of Net

    Type the percent of net pay the employee wants automatically deposited.

    If a value is typed in the Percent of Net field, leave the Amount field blank.

    Default

    Select whether this is the employee's default direct deposit distribution.

    If the Automatic Deposit field on Employee (HR11.1)) is Yes, then you must select a default direct deposit distribution. The distribution that you select as the default is always processed last. You must define the default account as 100 percent to allow Payroll to distribute the total remaining balance of net pay to this account after all other distributions have been processed.

    Print Receipt

    The value in this field is populated in the Print Receipt field of the PMTOUT record. It this field is blank, then Yes is displayed in the PMTOUT Print Receipt field.

    Effective Date (Begin Date)

    Type a beginning date for the distribution. If you leave the Begin Date field blank, the system date is used. The begin date is compared to the payment date specified in Earnings and Deductions Calculation (PR140) to determine whether the direct deposit distribution is valid.

    Effective Date (End Date)

    Type an ending date for the distribution. If the End Date field is left blank, no end date is assumed. The end date is compared to the payment date specified in Earnings and Deductions Calculation (PR140) to determine whether the direct deposit distribution is taken.

    Cycles

    Match the cycles with the cycles on Earnings and Deductions Calculation (PR140). Select an X in the appropriate fields to indicate the cycles in which the direct deposit distribution is taken. You must select at least one cycle. You can select up to nine cycles.
