Adding Custom Fields (Payroll NZ)

Custom fields may be configured in your system to allow additional information, which is not captured elsewhere on the Payroll > Payee > Payee Maintenance > Payee Entry screen, to be recorded against a payee. The information recorded in custom fields is not used by the system when paying a payee; it is recorded as reference information only.

The exact custom fields that are available will depend on the requirements of your business and are configured under Maintenance > Custom Fields. Custom fields can be configured to be mandatory and therefore, you will be unable to save the payee record once you payee details validity period if you have not filled in all mandatory custom fields on the payee record.

As custom fields do not affect the pay process, they can be updated at any time regardless of whether the payee is currently in a pay batch or has already been paid in a closed pay batch.
