Functions of Process Lists

Process lists control payroll processing at the highest level. They perform three basic functions:

• Identify the sections, or sets of elements, to resolve during the payroll process and the order in which they resolve.

• Identify the gross and net pay accumulators for the payroll process.

  The banking process determines net pay by referencing the net pay accumulator.

• Specify whether the process applies to absence or payroll processing.

  They're very similar, but some differences occur during retroactive processing.
