Creating payments

Creating payments includes these procedures:

• Verifying the Payroll Cycle Status

• Calculating tip credit records (U.S. and CA)

• Creating General Ledger payroll accruals

• Creating the Payroll Register (U.S. and CA)

Before you continue creating payments, use Payroll Cycle Status (PR00.1) to verify the status of the payroll cycle and to verify the successful completion of the forms required for Earnings and Deductions Calculation (PR140) to run. The forms include Retroactive Pay Calculation (PR131) if applicable, FLSA Overtime Calculation (PR132), and Tip Calculation (TP135) if required by flags on Company (HR00.1) and Process Level (HR01.1).

Use Payment Print (PR160) to create a print file of payments and direct deposit receipts based on earnings and deductions calculated by Earnings and Deductions Calculation (PR140), and to create a disk file of direct deposit payment information that can be copied to tape for submission to the processing financial institution.

Use Accrual Program (PR195) to create estimated general ledger payroll accruals for all company expenses when a payroll period spans two accounting periods.

See Calculating tip credit records (U.S. and CA).

Use the Payroll Register (PR141) to create a report of the earnings and deductions processed in the current payroll cycle. You can submit the job with a unique name to retain an electronic copy of the report. Use Payroll Register (PR141) to balance and audit payroll records.
