Running the Payline Details Report in HRS

Overview

The Payline Details Report gives a Benefit Administrator a listing of paylines that have been created for a specific Pay Run ID (pay cycle) to ensure accuracy of the amounts being either deducted or refunded to the employee.

Process Considerations:

The Payline Details Report is designed to meet multiple needs. All of the fields can be used in combination to get the information needed:

Campus Entry Report - This report is used to view all entries made by all users within one Business Unit.

  • Fields used = Business Unit + Payline Type + All Statuses
  • Optional Field = Pay Run ID. Leave blank for all pay periods, or specify one.
  • This report has row-level security, so a user will only see entries for employees within their normal scope of access.

Employee Details Report - this report is used to view all entries made by all users for one specific employee.

  • Fields used = Payline Type + EmplID + All Statuses
  • Optional Field = Pay Run ID. Leave blank for all pay periods, or specify one.
  • This report has row-level security, so a user will only see entries for employees within their normal scope of access.

Adjustments Entered by User - This report is used to view all entries for all employees made by a specific user.

  • Fields used = Entered By (UserID) + Payline Type + All Statuses
  • This report has row-level security, so user will only see entries for employees within their normal scope of access.

Exceptions Report - This report is used to view all entries made by a specific user that are no longer pending but were not loaded to the payline. Note that this report is used to view what has already happened (reactive); there is another report (Upload to PSHUP) that can be run to see what WILL happen so that problems can be resolved in advance (proactive)

  • Fields used = Entered By (UserID) + Payline Type + Error Statuses option value.
  • This report has row-level security, so a user will only see entries for employees within their normal scope of access.

  • Payline Type (This report can be run against specific types of payline adjustments. For the purpose of viewing benefits payline deductions, the code "BD" would be used.)
