Description

Payees can be removed from a pay batch at any stage while the pay batch is in the Open status. An enhancement has been made in this release so that if all payees are removed from a pay batch then the pay batch stage automatically reverts to the Manual Items stage, if that is not the current pay batch stage, so that payees can be manually added back into the pay batch if necessary.

Note

If a payee is removed from a pay batch accidentally, the payee can be manually added back into the pay batch manually while the pay batch is still in the Open state. However, be aware of the following:

  • Payees can only be manually added into a pay batch at the Manual Items stage so if the batch has progressed past that stage, you must move the batch back to the Manual Items stage to add the payee back in. However, be aware that any manual adjustments that have been made at any pay batch stage will be undone when you move back to the Manual Items stage.

  • When the payee is manually added back into the pay batch any unprocessed transactions related to the payee that were originally automatically included in the pay batch when the pay batch was originally created will not be reinstated in the batch.

In such situations it may be more practical to process a separate pay batch after closing the current batch, because the subsequent pay batch will automatically pick up the payee who was removed from the current pay batch and any of their unprocessed transactions.

Benefits

This enhancement prevents the need for you to manually move the pay batch stage back to the Manual Items stage if you have removed all payees from the pay batch and you want to add payees back into the pay batch manually.
