Payment Workfile

In some cases, you might need to reprint an entire batch of payments (which might include checks or advice slips or both) after you complete the print payments step. You do this, for example, if the payments were not delivered. If you have completed the print payments step, you must reset the payment workfile before you can reprint payments. You also need to reset the payment workfile when any of these situations occurs:

• You experience a machine or power failure that causes the print payments step to terminate abnormally.

• You find an error in employee personal or salary information after you have already printed payments.

• You need to change employee timecard information after you have already printed payments.

You can choose to reset checks only, advice slips only, or both types of payments. Resetting the payment workfile does not create accounting transactions. Therefore, you cannot reset the payment workfile if you have processed the final update for a payroll cycle.
