Business Process Summary

In Payroll for North America, pay calculation is an iterative process. You can run and rerun calculations repeatedly until you're confident that the payroll data is correct. Here are the basic steps:

1. Enter employee payroll information, create paysheets, and make updates and adjustments for the pay period.

2. (Optional) Identify and fix potential errors using the Precalculation Audit Report (PAY035).

3. Run the Pay Calculation COBOL SQL process (PSPPYRUN).

4. Review calculation results and check for errors.

   Check payroll error messages online or print the Payroll Error Messages report (PAY011).

   View the results of paycheck earnings, deductions, and taxes using the Paycheck pages and various standard reports that you can print to verify the results of the pay calculation.

5. Make adjustments on the paysheets.

6. Repeat these steps until you're confident that the payroll data is correct, then run the final calculation and confirm pay.
