Clearing the Print Date

When you process payments for employees who are eligible for superannuation contributions, you can print superannuation payment information on the employees' payment advice slips. The system prints all of the records in the Superannuation Payments table that do not have a date in the Date Printed field. After the payment information is printed, the system completes the Date Printed field so that the information is not printed on subsequent payment advice slips.

You might occasionally need to reprint superannuation payment information on an employee's advice slip. Before you can reprint this information, you must remove the print date from the payment record. The system prints only the records in the Superannuation Payment table that do not contain a print date.

For example, if you misplace a batch of payment advice slips, you might need to reprint them. After you remove the date from the Date Printed field, you can then reprocess the payment advice slips.

Note: When you process payments, the system includes all records in the Superannuation Payment table that do not contain a date in the Date Printed field. Therefore, if you want to reprint payment advices, be aware that if you enter additional superannuation payment information between the time that the original payment advice slips were created and the time that you reprint them, the system will include the new payment records as well as the records that you have cleared when it prints superannuation payment information on the payment advice slips.

When you select the payments for which you want to clear the print date, you must specify the original date on which the record was printed. In addition, you can use any combination of this search criteria to specify which payments to include in the clearing process:

  • Company

  • Business unit

  • Employee number

For example, if you want to clear the print date for all payments that were printed on December 30, 2005, you enter that date in the Date Printed field on the Clear Printed Date form. If you want to clear the print date for only one employee whose payment was printed on December 30, 2005, you enter the employee number in the Employee Number field and 30/12/05 in the Date Printed field.
