PR Computer Checks

1 Create a Computer Checks batch, generate the timecards, and calculate the payroll on the batch.

2 Generate and review the Check Proof List.

The Check Proof List displays the deductions and benefits on the paychecks in the batch, the gross amounts (federal, state, FICA, retirement, etc), accruals that are accrued and used, and paycode details. Generate the Check Proof List Report and review the values to verify that the calculated payroll is correct. You can compare the values on the Check Proof List to a previous period in order to estimate the validity of the calculated payroll.

You can view the previous paychecks of an employee using the History tab of the Employee Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> Employee> History tab). Click here for information on the History tab of the Employee Maintenance window.

Select Check Proof List from the Computer Checks palette. This will open the Check Proof List window.
The Report Type drop-down menu determines which version of the report will be generated.
- The Summary report includes the deductions and benefits on the paychecks in the batch, the gross amounts (federal, state, FICA, retirement, etc), and the accruals that are accrued and used.
- The Details with Codes report includes everything in the Summary report as well as pay, deduction, and benefit code totals for the checks included in the batch.
The Group Report By drop-down menu determines how the employees will be grouped and sorted, and which totals will display on the report. These are the same options that display on the Timecard Proof List (PR> Computer Checks> Timecard Proof List).

Select Employee Number if you would like to sort the employees on the report by only employee number.
Select Last Name if you would like the employees in the batch to be grouped and sorted by the employee last name.
Select Department, Employee Number if you would like to group the information on the report by department and then employee number within each department. This version of the report will include gross wages (FED, FICA, STATE, etc) totaled by department.
Select Department, Last Name if you would like to group the information on the report by department and then by employee last name within each department. This version of the report will include gross wages totaled by department.

The Sort Timecards By drop-down menu is used to select the order in which timecard line items will display on the report.

Select GL Account if the timecard line items should be sorted by the GL account number attached to the timecard line item. The generally only applies if there are GL accounts attached to the timecard line items manually added to the line item, populated from the default timecard or populated from a rate code attached to the line item. If a GL account is not attached to any of the timecard line items, the line items will be sorted by pay code.
Select Pay Type if the timecard line items should be sorted by the pay type associated with the pay code on the line item. Pay types are associated with pay codes using the Pay Code Maintenance window (PR> Maintenance> Pay Code> Pay Type drop-down menu). Click here for information on Pay Code Maintenance.

Check the Page break after group toggle if you would like each grouping to begin at the top of a new page. For example, if you group the report by department and you check this toggle, the first record of each department will display at the top of a new page.

If you group the report by employee number, checking this toggle will have the same function has checking the New page for each employee toggle because each employee number represents a new grouping.
If you group the report by department and employee number, or department and employee name, the report will only add a page break after each department grouping. It will not add a page break after each department and each employee record. If you would like to display each employee on a separate page, check the New page for each employee toggle.

Check the Print employee count toggle if you would like to the report to display the number of employees included on the report. This will add a field titled Employee Count to the Report Totals section of the report. The Employee Count field will display the total number of employees in the batch and break the total number into male and female.
Check the New page for each employee toggle if you would like each employee paycheck to display on a unique page. If you do not check this toggle, the report may display multiple employees on a single page of the report.

When you group the report by employee number, this toggle has the same function as the Page break after group toggle because each employee number represents a new grouping.

Each timecard line item attached to a PM module task code will create a PM module transaction. For example, if there is a timecard line item for 10 hours at $17.50 per hour, the timecard line item will create a PM module transaction of $175 on the selected task code. If there are any benefits associated with the timecard line item attached to the PM task code, those benefits will also create a PM module transaction.
Deductions on the paycheck will not affect the PM module transaction (They will not reduce the PM module transaction amount).
For example:

There are two line items on a paycheck, each with 10 hours at $25 an hour and total $250.
Only one of the line items is attached to a PM module task code.
Total benefits on the check equal $200.
Total deductions on the check equal $100.
The paycheck will result in a PM module transaction of $350 ($250 + (.5 *$200). The $100 of deductions will not affect the PM transaction generated by the line item.

9 Generate a positive pay file. This is an optional step.

If the Payroll module is set up to use positive pay (PR> Utilities> Setup> General tab> Use Positive Pay toggle), there will be a Positive Pay option on the Computer Checks palette. The Positive Pay option is used to generate an export file that contains all of the checks in the batch. This electronic file is sent to the bank where the checks are drawn and as checks are processed, the bank will verify that the amount on the physical check matches the amount on the Positive Pay file. In order to use this feature, you must set up a Positive Pay relationship with your bank. Your bank will determine the format of the positive pay file and how the positive pay file will be delivered to them.
Select Positive Pay from the Computer Checks palette to generate a positive pay file. This is an optional step, meaning if you don’t want to generate a positive pay file for the checks in the batch, you can skip this step and you will still be able to commit the batch.
The standard positive pay file format is:

010840880220 000000001500000065980009222010

020840880220 0000000001000000659800

The Numbers on the first line correspond to:
- 01 = indicates the beginning of the individual transaction line
- 0840880220 = Bank Account
- 0000000015 = Check Number
