PR80 and PR180

When our organization needs to make a manual check we do so in PR80 - and then we run the following jobs to process the payment: PR141, PR142, PR197, CM197, ZP197, ZP198, PR198, ZR445, ZR446, and ZP484. After the process is complete we send a request over to our AP department to cut a check to the employee for the net amount. There are many issues with this process, but our main goal is to be able to be able to create a manual check on PR80 and then pay them via direct deposit so it seems PR180 will do this. Are my assumptions correct for the capabilities of PR180? For those that use direct deposit to pay employees on manual check, what jobs do you run? I'm thinking I just need to add PR180, PR162, and ZP255 before the PR197 but I'm not exactly sure. Thank you!

Hello,

The steps we process are a PR80.4, PR141,PR197,PR198. We use MHC to import the PR180 file to the bank. I hope this helps you.

PR80.1 is used to create manual system payment checks. PR80.4 is used to create manual direct deposit checks. PR180 is used to print the system payments/create the direct deposit file (MAN-PMTOUT).

Review Knowledge Base articles #1203877 and 1203826 for full details on the process.

We use PR80.4 to process off cycle payments for direct deposit. We select type R for ACH. Then the payment number comes from Reserved Receipts - Main Account. Then calculate add just like PR80.1. Then the payment has been created.

Then we run a PR180 to get a serial number. Once we have that number we put it onto the reprint tab of the second job we call PR180RERUN. Then run the second job.

Then we print the .prt part to our ach printer and IT has a program to launch the file off for direct deposit for the employee.

These payments show in the payment history for the employee as type H.

Once the file goes we get a confirmation email with the amount.

No other jobs needed.

This process is fairly new to us, it is much better than PR80.1 and the paper checks or running a payroll every time we need to process any missed hours or corrections.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Yes, it sounds like we were in the same boat. Thank you for the input - I will be researching and testing this over the next few weeks and will reach out if I have questions. Thanks!

Following this very informative thread for future reference! Darcy, may I ask why you run PR180 twice? Thank you!

One job generates the serial number and the other job creates the payment. I'm not aware of any other options. It's much easier and better than paper checks for us and better for our employees too. Do you run the PR180 one time?

Thanks Darcy! We don't currently use PR80.4 and PR180, that is why I am following this thread, trying to learn something WE have only ever used PR160 to create our print/bank files, and we only run it one time. I know PR160 also creates a serial number, but we do not run PR160 twice. My understanding is that, for PR160, the serial number is used when you have to rerun PR160 due to an error. What is the reasoning behind running PR180 to get a serial number, then rerunning it with the serial number, as part of your regular process? I really appreciate the info - I am learning a lot in this thread that might help our payroll dept work more efficiently (I am in IT)!
