Check the Payroll Cutoff Errors at 9 a.m. for your agency's errors. Employees on these lists will be locked out of final payroll processing if left uncorrected. Match the specific type of error in the error list to the Common Redline, ALAS, or RPCIPE Error documents for further instructions to correct the error(s).
Run a payroll simulation for your full agency if any changes are being made to master data after noon. Run in the background with Display Log turned off to look for employees with redline errors. Use the Common Redline Errors to correct any redlines.
Run the Preemptive Time Data Check once a Time Transfer has been completed to ensure employee hours have transferred and hours are correctly entered.
Run the Preemptive Compensation Data Check report to identify possible payroll issues such as missing infotypes, incorrect entries of garnishment vendors, deductions not taken (DDNTK), or wage types in arrears (ARRS).
Run the Payroll Threshold report to check for possible payroll issues such as arrears, claims, deductions not taken, missing hours, and pay that is too high or too low.
Run the Payroll Journal Report to examine Gross and Net Pay (this is an alternative to going into each employee’s pay results one at a time.)
Run the Preemptive Basic Data Check Report to identify employees with missing master data in order to eliminate errors during payroll processing. Deselect Bond Purchase (0103), Insurance Benefits (0168), and Work Tax Area (0208) infotypes before executing this report. The state of Washington does not use these infotypes.
Run the Payroll Posting Report to check for accounting or funding discrepancies in payroll processing. When running the Payroll Posting Report during Payroll Processing Days for the current period, you will need to enter the Run ID and Sequence number. The Run ID and Sequence numbers can be found at the bottom of the Payroll Cutoff Error file.
Check for pay errors on your spool reports. Depending on your agency practice, export and save spool files as necessary.
Run a payroll simulation for your full agency in the background with Display Log turned off to look for employees with redline errors. Use the Common Redline Errors to correct any redlines.
