You can add your own cheque report to the Cheque Writer process by generating it and placing it in the $PAY_TOP/srw directory.
To select your report in the Cheque Writer Parameters window, you first need to add the cheque report details to the HR_LOOKUPS table. The sample report supplied has the following definition in this table:
| Column Name | Value |
|---|---|
| APPLICATION_ID | 800 |
| LOOKUP_TYPE | GB_CHEQUE_REPORT |
| LOOKUP_CODE | PAYRPCHQ |
| MEANING | Default |
| ENABLED_FLAG | Y |
BACS is the UK system for the direct deposit of employee pay. To make deposits through BACS, you must provide details of the source and destination banks, and of the amount to be transferred to each employee.
Oracle Payroll supports BACS magnetic tape submission in four formats:
single file single day
single file multi-day
multi-file single day
multi-file multi-day
Single day formats: These are for payments made on a single processing day.
Multi-day formats: These are for payments made on different processing days. Multi-day processing allows you to make payments to assignments on different days because of different dates of birth, for example.
Single file formats: These are for individual enterprises.
Multi-file formats: These are for payroll bureaus or enterprises that accept BACS files from other institutions as well as their own.
You create BACS tapes in your operating system after first running the BACS process in Oracle Payroll.
For multi-file users, the submission of euro and sterling amounts is supported without any change to existing procedures.
However, if you are submitting in single-file format, you cannot include euro and sterling amounts in the same file. Attempts to do so will produce an error after the BACS process has started running. You will therefore need to restrict the BACS process to payment methods of a single currency.
You do this in one of the following ways:
Change the consolidation set so that it only includes payrolls that have BACS payment methods of the same currency.
Restrict the BACS process to a specific payroll having BACS payment methods of one currency only, and then run the process once for each payroll. This is suited to organizations with a large number of originating accounts and payment methods because it will minimise the number of times that you have to resubmit the BACS process.
Restrict the BACS process to a specific payment method.
