Defining and Assigning Payment IDs

To define payment IDs, use the Payment ID Definition (GP_PYMT_ID_DEFN) component. To assign payment IDs, use the Source Bank Accounts (SRC_BANK) component. To combine payments, use the Combine Payments (GP_PYENT_GBL) component.

Pages Used to Define and Assign Payment IDs

Page Name	Definition Name	Usage
Payment ID Definition Page	GP_PYMT_ID_DEFN	Define a payment ID that is unique by bank account number. If you have two different bank accounts, you will have two different payment IDs for each bank account, for example, one for direct deposits and another for checks.
Payment ID Assignment Page	GP_PYMT_ID_ASGN	Associate a payment ID with a payment method.
Combine Payments Page	GP_PYENT_COMB	Assign appropriate rules for combining payments and payslips to a pay entity.

Understanding Payment IDs

A payment ID is a unique identifier that you can use to determine which payments have been processed.

You define the payment ID on the Payment ID Definition page. Because the same payment ID can be associated with multiple payment methods and can be used by multiple source banks, you need to associate the appropriate payment ID with a specific payment method. You define this as part of the Source Bank account on the Payment ID Assignment page.

When you have defined payment IDs and assigned them to a payment method, you can use this information to run the Payment Number Assignment process.

Payment ID Definition Page

Use the Payment ID Definition page (GP_PYMT_ID_DEFN) to define a payment ID that is unique by bank account number.

Navigation:

Set Up HCM, and then Common Definitions, and then Banking, and then Payment ID Definition, and then Payment ID Definition

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Payment ID Definition page.

If you have two different bank accounts, you will have two different payment IDs for each bank account, for example, one for direct deposits and another for checks.

Field or Control	Description
Country	Select the country that uses the payment ID.
Payment Identification	Enter a unique definition for the payment ID.
Last Payment Number Used	Enter the last payment number used for the payment identification. For example, the last number used for advices. Note: The last payment number determines the starting number for checks and advices during the payment process.

Payment ID Assignment Page

Use the Payment ID Assignment page (GP_PYMT_ID_ASGN) to associate a payment ID with a payment method.

Navigation:

Set Up HCM, and then Common Definitions, and then Banking, and then Source Bank Accounts, and then Payment ID Assignment

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Payment ID Assignment page.

Field or Control	Description
Payment Method	Select the payment method to use. Values are Bank Transfer, Cash, Check, Postal Order, Wire Transfer, and Zero Net. If the bank associated with the bank account requires prenotes, enter a payment method of Zero Net and a payment ID of ZERONT. Note: You can use the Zero Net payment method whenever a zero dollar payment is generated. Using the Zero Net payment method is not restricted only to the use of prenotes.
Payment ID	Select the payment ID to associate with the specific payment method for the source bank.
Default Reconciliation Status	Identify the default reconciliation status. This is used to create rows in the GP_PYMT_BNK_TBL. Typically, if you selected a payment method of Check, you will select Unreconciled here. If you selected a payment method of Bank Transfer, you will select Reconciled here. Note: This field is used by the Global Payroll core bank reconciliation process. If you use another method to reconcile your payments, the value entered here is irrelevant.

Note:

The first page in this component, the Source Bank Accounts page, is discussed in the PeopleSoft HCM Application Fundamentals product documentation.

Combine Payments Page

Use the Combine Payments page (GP_PYENT_COMB) to assign appropriate rules for combining payments and payslips to a pay entity.

Navigation:

Set Up HCM, and then Product Related, and then Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt, and then Framework, and then Organizational, and then Pay Entities, and then Combine Payments

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Combine Payments page.

In PeopleSoft Global Payroll, an employee may have multiple segments generated for a given calendar group as a result of segmentation or multiple jobs. Each of these segments may produce a separate payment based on the employee's net pay elections. If you want an employee to receive a single payslip, use the Combine Payments page to control how payslips and payments are combined.

Field or Control	Description
Combine Segments	Select if segments should be combined for banking and payslips. If you don't select this check box, all other options will be deselected and unavailable for entry.
Combine Multiple Jobs	Select to combine multiple jobs into a single payment.

Date Criteria

Use this group box to specify criteria for combining payments. You must select one of the two options.

Field or Control	Description
Payment Date	Select to combine segments with the same payment date.

Field or Control	Description
Period End Date	Select to combine segments with the same period end date.
