Set Payroll Processing Status - A summary of the activity

Through this activity, you can either abort or reset a Payroll process. A payroll process refers to the computation of pay for an employee.

The processing of the attendance details must have been initiated in the “Process Payroll” activity, for a single or multiple paysets under a payroll.

Aborting a Payroll Process: By aborting a payroll process, you stop processing of a payroll after it has been initiated. Normally, you abort a process when you don’t anticipate the output to be as desired. For example, after initiating a payroll process you find that certain entries have not been recorded, or certain leave entries of the employees have not been entered. In such instances, you abort the payroll process, incorporate the necessary changes and again reset the process.

Aborting a payroll process involves specifying the

• Payroll processing unit

• Payroll

• Process period

• Session ID that identifies the attendance process.

In response to these specifications, the system displays all the paysets mapped to the selected payroll whose payroll processing has been initiated or aborted for the specified process period.

Resetting the Payroll Process: Resetting a payroll process means that you have readied the aborted payroll for processing. Resetting involves entering the same specifications as aborting; the system displays all the payset records that have been either aborted or are being processed, for the specified process period and payroll.

Viewing the Error Log: When you set the status of payset processing for the payset or payroll, the system checks whether the required conditions are met.  If it identifies any conditions that are not met, it records them as errors and displays them.  You can view these errors and rectify them before proceeding. You can also record comments, remarks or opinions.
