The Batch Removal Process removes a timesheet entry or variable deduction batch from the system. The batch header will be marked as deleted and all batch detail and associated EI records will be removed from the payroll. This is not a reversible process and care should be taken when using this option. Refer to Batch Suspension Process for a temporary means of disabling a batch.
Note: Batches from an Updated pay period cannot be deleted. When a batch is deleted from a current pay period, the payroll stream must be re-started from Earnings Detail phase.
Note: This job will be forced to run in batch.
Enter Batch Number To Remove
-
Enter the number of the batch you wish to delete.
Remove Batch
-
Enter 'Y' to remove the specified batch.
-
Enter 'N' to exit the program without removing the batch. This prompt will only appear if the batch header is marked as deleted. This indicates that the removal process has already been run once on this batch. It is only necessary to re-run this option if the process aborted before completing. In this case it would be possible to have batch entries in the timesheet entry file when the batch header is marked as deleted.
Check the log file for error messages to determine whether the removal was successful.
