Example of Skipping Prenotes

A prenote is an entry you must send a few days prior to the first live payroll credit issued. The purpose of a prenote is to validate routing number and account numbers of the receiving bank or credit union.

If prenote has already been performed on a particular bank account, then use the Payroll Bank Account Prenote Status Update process to skip the prenote process.

Essentially, this process creates a prenote record with a status of Marked as complete for a specific bank account. This action stops revalidating the bank account.

When you load a prenote file, the application populates the prenote date as 01/01/00. And sets the prenote status on the personal payment method as Marked as complete.

Let's consider this example. Vision Corp Company has its headquarters in US. The company subjects its employees that have elected to receive direct deposits to the prenote process. They have set up their organization payment method with Prenotification Required option as Yes.

Recently, the company moved their data into cloud. Now, the application automatically triggers the prenote process. This means that the company's employees will be most likely paid their first payment by check. But the company doesn't want such a type of payment to happen and wants to skip the prenote process. Using HCM Data Loader, you can skip the prenote process for external bank accounts.

Use the PayBankAccountPrenote.dat file for updating the prenote status for your employees' bank account.
