Payroll Batches
Batching groups pays together. Either you or Greentree Desktop can allocate the batch number. You can enable batch mode on the Human Resources Module Control form. If batching is enabled, you can select these options:
Pay date changeable
Select this option to change the pay date, taken from the batch form, on the summary form of the pay entry form. If you don't select this option the pay date on the summary form of the pay entry form is taken from the batch and cannot be altered at pay entry.
Posting date changeable
Select this option to change the posting date, taken from the batch form, on the summary form of the pay entry. If you don't select this option the posting date on the summary form of the pay entry form is taken from the batch and cannot be altered at pay entry.
Summarise GL by Batch
If you select this option, the general ledger journals created by the Payroll module at payment creation are summarised. General ledger accounts used on all transactions within a pay and within a batch is grouped together when the general ledger updates. Pays update to the general ledger anonymously. You cannot use transaction trees if you summarise batches.
If this option is not selected, each of the transaction within a pay in a batch creates its own general ledger journal. Each journal line is updated with the code and name of the employee and the transaction amount.
If your payroll is integrated with Job Costing and the summarised option is selected the job cost journals are not summarised.
