Description |
---|---|
Payslip ID |
Displays the ID of the payslip template. Using this ID, you can attach a single template to multiple pay groups. |
Delivery Option |
Select an address to receive printed payslips. It can be an internal address (either a location or a department that uses a location address) or an external address (the home address or mail address that appears in the payee's personal data record). You can override the selection that is made here on the Payee Payslip Overrides page, which is effective-dated. In this way, you can override the delivery option for a period of time. |
Exclude Printing |
Select either Department or Location to exclude departments or locations from the payslip print run. The corresponding link becomes active so that you can select from the department or location lists. You can override the exclusion on the Print Payslips page before you run the print program. Note: If you enter a particular pay entity as the print option on the Print Payslips page and you have excluded a location that is associated with the pay entity, the payslip is not printed for that location. |
Column 1 through Column 6 |
Enter the labels to appear on the printed payslip as the column headings for the accumulators. These column labels appear on the payslip under the heading Pay Summary. |

---|---|
Sequence |
Enter a sequence number to set the order in which the accumulators appear. They appear in ascending order with the lowest number first. |
Description |
Enter a description for the row. |
Accumulator 1 to Accumulator 3 |
Select the accumulators to appear in the corresponding column. For example, suppose that you enter the description of sequence 1 and 2 as Current and YTD (year to date), respectively. If you also want to display quarter to date (QTD) accumulated amounts, create a new row, give the new row the description QTD, then select the accumulators that correlate to the column headings. |
Accumulator 4 to Accumulator 6 |
Set up accumulators 4 to 6. No Sequence or Description fields are available because the same sequence number and description applies to all six accumulators in the row. |
This diagram shows how column numbers, sequences, and accumulator numbers appear on the printed payslip.

Use the Earnings and Deduction page (GPMY_PSLP1) to create sections of earnings and deductions, select description options, and set the element components that the payslip displays.
