Recording Manual Payments for Brazil

When entering manual payments for Brazilian payees, you should manually calculate all calculations outside the system and then enter them. Consider these points when entering manual payments:

• Selecting the Period (Calendar) Paid and Payment Date values on the Period Calendar tab of the Manual Payments page.

  The selection of the period paid and payment date need to be considered carefully. When selecting the period paid, it is recommended that you select the previous finalized calendar or the current open calendar. The selection of the payment date directly affects how elements are accumulated. For example, if you have an accumulator that accrues based on period end date, the payment date may not update the accumulator balances at the right time.

• Selecting processing controls on the Manual Payments page.

  The Period Begin Date and Period End Date values should appear by default after you select Period (Calendar) Paid. You should not change these dates because the delivered Brazil rules were designed to calculate using whole periods, and they may not automatically segment if a partial period is entered.

  The run type is provided by default from the Period (Calendar) Paid selection, and you should use the default. To ensure that the payee's manual payment is processed by the system, select the Allow Duplicates check box for the run type; otherwise, the payee may not be processed again if the system detects that they were already processed in the period.

  Selecting Stop Regular Resolution enables you to stop the resolution of all elements on the process list except the elements entered into the manual payment. If you decide to allow regular resolution, you would need to perform an analysis to understand the effect on your supporting elements.

  If using the Limited Element Set, you must ensure that all elements calculate independently of pre- or post-processing formulas, as these do not resolve during off-cycle processing.
