Cancelling a Batch

If you do not want to process an existing, open Back Pay or Retro Payee Details batch, you can cancel the batch.

Cancelling a batch changes the batch status form Open to Cancelled. Once the batch is in the Cancelled status, it cannot be opened in the Back Pay Batch Wizard or the Retro Payee Details Wizard and therefore cannot be modified or released.

A batch can only be cancelled while it is in the Open status. Once the batch has been released or closed, it cannot be cancelled.

To cancel a batch, follow the procedure below.

1.

If the batch is not already open in the Back Pay Batch Wizard, search for and open the batch in the Wizard.

2.

Near the top of the Back Pay Batch Wizard screen, click Cancel Batch.

A warning message opens, prompting you to confirm the cancellation of the batch.

3.

If you are sure you want to cancel the batch, select Yes.

The warning message closes and a confirmation message opens, indicating the batch has been cancelled. The Status of the batch changes from Open to Cancelled, thereby preventing the batch from being modified or from being released.
