Purpose

The purpose of this quick reference guide is to step through the process of calculating a single Payee within a Pay Batch instead of using the Calculate on the entire Pay Batch. The intended audience for this document is Standard Payroll Users. The ability to calculate a single Payee is used mainly when adjustments have been made to a Payee’s Pay Batch, such as Pay Transactions, Superannuation Withholding, PAYG Withholding, or other related records, and therefore the Payee Pay Batch needs to be recalculated.

Steps

  1. From the List View, select a Pay Batch with the status of Part Calculated suggesting that changes have already been made to the records since the last calculation was performed, or, a status of Calculated if there are changes that are yet to be applied to one of the Payee Pay Batches, which will then change the status to Part Calculated, and click the Launch button (see Figure 3).

For newly created Payee Pay Batches, if the Status is Uncalculated and they have never been Calculated before, the individual Part Calculate button will remain disabled. Whereas if their Status is Uncalculated and they have been Calculated before, the individual Part Calculate button will be enabled for these Payee Pay Batches, and the Pay Batch status will be Part Calculated.
