Calculate Prepayments

The US Simplified Payroll Cycle flow automatically runs the Calculate Prepayments process for you.

This process:

  1. Calculates the distribution of payroll payments based on your employees' payment methods.

  2. Uses the payroll run results to calculate the gross-to-net payment.

  3. Locks the payroll run results to prevent changes and ensures data integrity.

    Tip: To roll back run results, first roll back the Calculate Prepayments task.

For further info, see Calculate and Validate Payroll Payment Distributions for the US in the Help Center.

This process runs automatically when you run a payroll flow. If your payroll flow doesn't include this process, you must run it manually.

To run this process:

  1. From My Client Groups, click Payroll.

  2. Click Submit a Flow.

  3. Select your US legislative data group.

  4. Search for and select Calculate Prepayments.

During payroll processing, you must have successfully generated and verified the Gross-to-Net Report.
