3.2.
Understanding Multiple Direct Deposits
An employee may have several bank accounts. Each direct deposit can be stated as either a percent of net pay or a dollar amount. Set up the appropriate number of rows of Distribution Data by inserting additional rows (using the key).
Direct Deposits distributions are processed in order of priority number - the lower the priority number, the higher the priority. Assign appropriate priority numbers so that the partial amount distributions have lower priority values insuring that they are processed first.
Designate one direct deposit account to receive the remaining funds after all of the other direct deposits are made. To designate an account to receive remaining funds, select Balance as the deposit type. Failure to do this will result in the remaining balance of net pay being issued through a check.
L Understanding the
Prenotification Process
PeopleSoft Payroll for North America comes with several SQR programs that are an integral part of the direct deposit process. Run these SQRs after completing the pay confirmation process. The Direct Deposit SQRs must be run in a specific order: 1st - DDP006, 2nd - DDP005, 3rd - DDP002, and last - DDP001.
3.3.
Understanding the Prenotification Process
The prenotification process is a test run for direct deposits to verify that bank IDs and
employee account numbers are valid. When an employee’s direct deposit data is first entered and the record is saved, the Prenote Status will show as Not Submitted, and the Prenote Date will be blank. After processing the next Pay Confirmation run the SQR program DDP001 Transmittal File. L
This program will prompt the user for a Prenote Date. The number of Prenote Days is specified on the Bank Table. Upon processing the SQR the date entered will be reflected in the Prenote Date on the Direct Deposit page, and the Prenote Status on this page will be Submitted. The system will change the Prenote Status from Submitted to Completed once the Prenote Date has passed. At that point direct deposits go into effect.
3.4.
Closing/Comments
To change or discontinue direct deposits, set up the appropriate effective-dated rows, using the Direct Deposit page. Selecting the Disable Direct Deposit check box on an employee’s paysheet can stop direct deposits for a single paycheck. This causes the system to produce an actual paycheck for the employee, rather than a direct deposit.
