Payment Batch Statuses and Security Definitions

The batch status determines what actions you can perform. Here are the actions you can perform for batches with statuses of Unpaid, Frozen, and Paid.

Action	Unpaid	Frozen	Paid
View payment batch	Yes	Yes	Yes
Delete payment batch	Yes	No	No
Edit payment batch	Yes	No	No
Freeze payment batch	Yes	No	No
Unfreeze payment batch	No	Yes	No
Refresh payment batch (Refreshes the paysheets)	Yes	No	No
Pay payment batch	No	Yes	No
Create paysheets for payment batch	Yes	No	No
Adjust paysheets	Yes	No	No

The application associates payment batch actions with discrete security definitions assigned to duty roles.

• Compensation managers have permission to perform any action to payment batches because of the default duty roles assigned to this job role.

• Compensation analysts can't perform any action through delivered duty role assignment except to add participant paysheets to existing payment batches.

To edit default permissions for your compensation analysts, assign one or more of the payment batch duty roles to the analyst job role. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, Use the Manage Duties task in the Users and Security functional area of the Sales offering.

Here's an example of how to allow compensation analysts to create and refresh payment batches:

• Assign the duty role Payment Batch Creation Duty to the compensation analyst job role.

• Leave the duty role Payment Batch Payment Duty assigned to only compensation managers.
