Running the Banking Process

Page Name	Definition Name	Usage
Run Payment Prep Process Page	GP_PMT_PREPARE	Run a process that creates payments for net pay, individual recipient, and general recipient deductions for a calendar run.

To prepare payments, the system uses the Payroll Results table that is created when you run payroll. The Global Payroll Banking Application Engine process (GP_PMT_PREP) populates a table, GP_PAYMENT, that contains payment information . The process creates payments for each segment and stores net pay by calendar period ID for each employee ID, employee record, and run type. The system does not store net pay if the value is zero, except for manual payments.

Note: The GP_PMT_PREP process extracts data as of the current system date, not as of the period end date.

Note: The process that creates payment files is a local function documented in the corresponding local country documentation.

Example 1: Payment Processing for Employee with Pay Increase

This table shows the net pay elections for an employee:

Payment Method	Bank Account	Primary Account	Partial Amount	Percent	Amount
Transfer	DEF				100
Transfer	ABC	Y	Y	100%

The employee has a pay increase effective December 15 and a net pay of 3500 for the month. This table shows the payroll results for December:

Segment	Period	Pay Entity	Cal Prd ID	Amount
1	December 1–15	AP	Monthly	1500
2	December 15 — 31	AP	Monthly	2000

This table shows the results of running the banking process for this employee:

Payment Method	Segment	Amount	Cal Prd ID	Source Bank	Bank Account
Transfer	1	100	Monthly	Bank 1	DEF
Transfer	1	1400	Monthly	Bank 1	ABC
Transfer	2	2000	Monthly	Bank 1	ABC

Example 2: Payment Processing for Employee with Multiple Jobs

This table shows the net pay elections for the same employee with multiple jobs, but only one net pay election defined:

Empl Rcd	Payment Method	Bank Account	Primary Account	Partial Amount	Percent	Amount
0	Transfer	DEF				100
0	Transfer	ABC	Y	Y	100%

The employee works for different departments with different source banks, with a total net pay of 4100. This table shows the payroll results for December:

Empl Rcd	Segment	Period	Pay Entity	Cal Prd ID	Amount
0	1	December 1–15	AP	Monthly	1500
0	2	December 15 — 31	AP	Monthly	2000
1	1	December 1 —31	AP	Monthly	600

This table shows the results of running the banking process for this employee:

Empl Rcd	Payment Method	Segment	Amount	Cal Prd ID	Source Bank	Bank Account
0	Transfer	1	100	Monthly	Bank 1	DEF
0	Transfer	1	1400	Monthly	Bank 1	ABC
0	Transfer	2	2000	Monthly	Bank 2	ABC
1	Check	1	600	Monthly	Bank 3	No alloc

In this example the amount for the employee's second job (empl rcd 1) is not allocated because no net pay election is defined for this job.

Country-Specific Batch Processing

You process country-specific payments using the same Global Payroll Banking Process (GP_PMT_PREP) that you use for non-country-specific banking. When a row of data exists for a country on the Banking Country Setup component, however, GP_PMT_PREP executes country-specific logic.

If the country uses the delivered CORE_BANK:SQL application package, then the system references the banking preparation definition for that country and for each defined sequence processes the country-specific SQL statement using the country, calendar run ID, and employee ID range selected on the Run Payment Prep Process run control page. The system loads the results into the GP_PAYMENT_FG record.

If the country does not use the delivered CORE_BANK:SQL application package, then the system uses the application package defined for the country in the Banking Country Setup component to load results into the GP_PAYMENT_FG record for the country, calendar run ID, and employee ID range selected on the Run Payment Prep Process run control page.

Use the Run Payment Prep Process page (GP_PMT_PREPARE) to run a process that creates payments for net pay, individual recipient, and general recipient deductions for a calendar run.

Field or Control	Description
Calendar Group	Select the calendar group on which to run the process. The system processes any items (segments) that are approved or finalized by the payroll process.
Stream Number	If the Process Streams check box is selected and you select Calculate in the Processing Phases and Options group box, you must select the stream number to process. Each stream number represents a predefined range of payees.
Process Streams	The Process Streams check box is selected automatically if you selected the stream processing option when defining the calendar group.

Processing Phases and Options

Field or Control	Description
Calculate	Select to have the system create the payment file by matching the finalized results from the payroll process with information you defined in banking setup. You can run the Calculate step repeatedly until you finalize the banking process.
Update Statistics	Select to have the banking system generate statistics to help the data administrator fine-tune system performance.
Finalize	After everything is calculated, select Finalize. (If you used stream processing for the Calculate phase, the system finalizes all streams for the calendar group simultaneously.) Note: If you're not using streams, you can select Calculate and Finalize at the same time.

Description

Calculate

Select to have the system create the payment file by matching the finalized results from the payroll process with information you defined in banking setup.

You can run the Calculate step repeatedly until you finalize the banking process.

Update Statistics

Select to have the banking system generate statistics to help the data administrator fine-tune system performance.

Finalize

After everything is calculated, select Finalize. (If you used stream processing for the Calculate phase, the system finalizes all streams for the calendar group simultaneously.)

Note: If you're not using streams, you can select Calculate and Finalize at the same time.

Calendar List

After you run the Calculate phase, this group box displays information for each calendar in the calendar run.

Streams

This group box displays all streams associated with the calendar group.
