How Do you use the Payroll Run Field?
The "Payroll Run" field should be completed with three characters that consist of either numbers or capital letters (lowercase letters are automatically converted to uppercase in the ARP software).
Example: Let's say you have six payrolls. You will need to assign six "Payroll Run" identifiers:
Payroll Type Payroll Frequency "Payroll Run"
Pastor Payroll - A Monthly PAS
Pastor Payroll - B Bi-weekly PA2
Teacher Payroll - A Semi-Monthly TEA
Teacher Payroll - B Monthly TE2
Courtesy Payroll - A Bi-Weekly COU
Courtesy Payroll - B Bi-weekly CO2
Each time you run a Pastor Payroll-A, whether it is a regular payroll run or an adjustment run, you must use the PAS "Payroll Run" identifier. Each time you run a Pastor Payroll-B, you must use the PA2 "Payroll Run" identifier, etc.
If you only process one payroll type during the course of a month, you still need to assign a "Payroll Run" identifier to that payroll.
