PAY_RUN_TABLE

Create pay run IDs to combine pay calendar entries from different pay groups for processing.

Use pay run IDs to indicate to the system which pay calendar entries to process together. A pay run ID identifies a single pay calendar to process. If you have several pay groups, you can process them together in a single run by assigning them the same pay run ID.

Generally, all calendar entries that share a pay run ID have the same pay end date, but not necessarily the same pay frequency. For example, if you have a semi-monthly and a monthly pay calendar, both calendars can be processed together for the month-end run, because they have identical pay period end dates.

Note: A pay run ID must be unique throughout payroll history. You must create pay run IDs in the Pay Run table before you enter them on the pay calendar. The pay run ID may be up to 10 characters. PeopleSoft suggests that you use as many of the 10 available characters as is necessary to ensure that your pay run ID is easily identifiable.

Use the Pay Run Table page (PAY_RUN_TABLE) to create pay run IDs to combine pay calendar entries from different pay groups for processing.
