 Messages FRA page

Define observation IDs to print comments or provide information to individual payees or groups of payees on the payslip.

To display comments and other information on a payslip:

  1. Define an observation ID with its associated comments and information on the Messages FRA page.

    Enter the comments or information that you want to appear on the payslip in Observation fields 1–4.

  2. Add the observation to the payslip of a single payee, or to all the payslips for a group of payees.

    • For a single payee, do this on the payee-level Supporting Elements page.

      On the Supporting Elements page, assign the Observation ID defined on the Messages FRA page to either the variable REP VR PS OBS (to display the observation in the body of the payslip) or the variable REP VR PS OBS A (to display the observation in the payslip annex).

    • For a group of payees, use the Supporting Element Overrides page of the Pay Groups component, or the Supporting Element Overrides page of the Pay Entities component.

      On the pay group or pay entity Supporting Element Overrides page, assign the Observation ID defined on the Messages FRA page to either the variable REP VR PS OBS (to display the observation in the body of the payslip) or the variable REP VR PS OBS A (to display the observation in the payslip annex).

    Note: Carefully check the start and end date of the supporting element assignment to ensure that the payslip message is printed during the correct payroll period.
