Cash Management CourseBefore You Begin



Environment Setup

The environment setup steps and potential workshop constraints must be reviewed in order to successfullycomplete the workshops in this course.

Your Epicor training environment, in which the Epicor demonstration database is found, enables you to experienceEpicor functionality in action but does not affect data in your live, production environment.

The following steps must be taken to successfully complete the workshops in this course.

1. Verify the following or ask your system administrator to verify for you:

• Your Epicor training icon (or web address if you are using Epicor Web Access) points to yourEpicor training environment with the Epicor demonstration database installed. Do not completethe course workshops in your live, production environment.

Note It is recommended that multiple Epicor demonstration databases are installed. ContactSupport or Systems Consulting for billable assistance.

• The Epicor demonstration database is at the same service pack and patch as the Epicorapplication. Epicor's education team updates the Epicor demonstration database for each service packand patch. If your system administrator upgrades your Epicor application to a new service pack or patch,he or she must also download the corresponding Epicor demonstration database from EPICweb > Support> Epicor > Downloads and install it. If this is not performed, unexpected results can occur when completingthe course workshops.

• Your system administrator restored (refreshed) the Epicor demonstration database prior tostarting this course. The Epicor demonstration database comes standard with parts, customers, salesorders, and so on, already defined. If the Epicor demonstration database is shared with multiple users(that is, the database is located on a server and users access the same data, much like your live, productionenvironment) and is not periodically refreshed, unexpected results can occur. For example, if a courseworkshop requires you to ship a sales order that came standard in the Epicor demonstration database,

but a different user already completed this workshop and the Epicor demonstration database was notrestored (refreshed), then you will not be able to ship the sales order. Epicor's education team has writtenthe course workshops to minimize situations like this from occurring, but Epicor cannot prevent usersfrom manipulating the data in your installation of the Epicor demonstration database.

Workshop Constraints

Below is a list of workshops in this course that can be performed only once in each instance of a restored (refreshed)database. Where applicable, a detailed explanation of the workshop constraints is documented in the workshopitself.

• Workshop - Reverse a Posted Cash Receipt and Review Results

• Workshop - Update Labor Hours and Generate Payroll Checks

• Workshop - Void an Employee's Paycheck

OverviewCash Management Course



Application Setup

This section of the course reviews the maintenance program setup factors applicable to the Cash Managementprocess.

The Application Help documents and defines all programs, fields, and operations that relateto every module contained within your Epicor application.

Company Configuration

Company Configuration specifies company level general ledger (GL) controls for Accounts Receivable (AR) andAccounts Payable (AP), as well as other modules. The Epicor application uses these controls if a higher level control

is not available when a GL transaction posts.Only the Company Configuration fields specific to the Cash Management course are discussed. Refer to theApplication Help to define any other fields of interest.

List Sheet

Use the Modules > All Modules > GL Control > List sheet to specify the company's default GL control for ARand AP. The Epicor application uses these controls if no other control is available when a general ledger transactionis posted.

More information on GL controls is available in the Application Help and the General Ledger course.

Individual Deposit Invoice Tracking

Use the Modules > Finance > Accounts Receivable > Individual Deposit Invoice Tracking sheet to set updeposit invoice handling for tax purposes. Tax will be calculated based on the tax treatment selected.

• Invoice Deposit Tax Treatment - Specifies the tax treatment to use for an invoice deposit. The default isNo Tax (to be allocated against a sales order without any tax implications). The valid options are: No Tax, TaxShipment Net movement, Reverse tax on shipment invoice, and Reverse tax by invoice match (selection usedby Russia)

• Product Tax Category - Specifies the product tax category used for deposit invoices.

• Require Deposit Invoice - Indicates whether a deposit invoice is required.

• Invoice Days Delay - Specifies the number of days allowed for an invoice delay.

This section of the course reviews the most significant maintenance programs applicable to the Cash Managementprocessing cycle. In some instances, fields within these maintenance programs may not apply to Cash Management

and are not discussed in this course. To learn more about a specific program, refer to the Application Help.

Bank Branch Code Maintenance

Use Bank Branch Code Maintenance to enter and maintain a list of bank branch codes. Bank branch codesare required in some countries to differentiate between the branches. An example for using bank branch codesis when branches are in locations that have different tax jurisdictions.

The bank branch code rules vary between countries. Those countries that use International Bank Account Numbers(IBAN), typically integrate the bank code into the prefix of the IBAN account numbers.

3. In the Name field, enter XXX Branch 1 (where XXX are your initials).

4. In the Bank Name field, enter XXX Bank (where XXX are your initials).

5. Click Save and exit Bank/Branch Code Maintenance.

Bank Fee Maintenance

Use Bank Fee Maintenance to define bank fee codes to accommodate fees deducted from a bank account toreflect a reconciled balance.

Example Create a code for a bank fee charged when processing a foreign currency cash receipt.

Since bank fees are often charged when you write or deposit a check, fee codes can be set up in both AccountsPayable and Accounts Receivable.

Bank fees are charged to a bank fee account defined in the GL control assigned to the selected bank in BankAccount Maintenance. The fee is applied when the bank account balance is affected. Sometimes, a companyknows about a fee when they create the cash receipt and payment documents, and other times, they do not

know until they receive the bank statement. However, the fee is applied when the cash account balance isaffected.

Bank fee codes help you anticipate the types of fees the bank may charge you. Since each code can generatetaxes, you can also define a tax associated with a bank fee. Once a bank fee is established, the Epicor applicationautomatically calculates and records the fee.

Examples of bank fees include:

• Transfer fee

• ATM fee

• Insufficient unavailable funds fee

• Transfer redirection fee

•Monthly service fee

• Paper fee

• Point of sale fee

Electronic Interface Maintenance

Use Electronic Interface Maintenance to create bank interface formats required by a specific bank or countryto perform electronic funds transfers (EFT) and electronic reports.

Most banks have options and information you need to define in order to send electronic payments. Run thisprogram to create or edit an electronic bank interface. Define the bank interface, the .cs (Source File) programit uses for a plug-in with the application, and the various fields (properties) required within this format.

When complete, the bank interface matches the format requirements for the bank or country with which youconduct business. Leverage this interface by linking it to a payment method. Transactions can then be submitted

electronically between the bank and the application.

Some common bank interfaces are included in the Epicor application. These interfaces are defined as applicationinterfaces and cannot be modified.

Legal Number Maintenance

Use Legal Number Maintenance to define how legal numbers are set up for documents, such as invoices,packing slips, and master packs.

Some countries require use of unique identifiers (or legal numbers) for transactions. These identifiers have controlsto prevent gaps in sequence and provide an additional tracking method.

You can define multiple legal numbers for the same transaction type.

Example Use a legal number formatted INV-2011-000001 with a national AR invoice, and AR000001with an exported invoice.

Legal numbers have two categories:

• Legal Document Numbers - These are assigned to an external document such as packing slips, sales invoices,and credit memos. The number is assigned to the document once it is posted or printed.

• Legal Transaction Numbers - These are assigned when documents that do not require printing are created.This category includes numbers applied to payment instruments, manual journals, cash receipts, and withholdingtax certificates.

To set up legal numbers, use Document Type Maintenance to link number sequences with specific documenttypes, then use Legal Number Maintenance to define masks, sequences, and legal texts.

Example Luther Corporation wants to assign legal numbers to all miscellaneous invoices created in ARInvoice Entry. To accomplish this, Luther Corp must create a Miscellaneous Invoice document type inDocument Type Maintenance and a new legal number record selecting AR Invoice as the number type.Once the legal number record is created, they must link the legal number sequence to the Miscellaneous

Invoice document type in the Document Type sheet. When creating a miscellaneous invoice in AR InvoiceEntry, a legal number is assigned to the invoice using the Legal Number > Assign Legal Number optionfrom the Action menu.

Note Use Company Configuration to indicate if legal numbers are required on all AR invoices and creditmemos.

Once set up, a legal number can be assigned automatically or manually to the record when the document iscreated using the parameters within Legal Number Maintenance.

Leverage this program to define the structure and number of digits your company uses for Serial ShipmentContainer Codes (SSCC). When you finish defining the legal numbers, you then apply these codes usingfunctionality in the Shipping/Receiving module.

Note You must use either legal numbers or SSCC codes. You can only use SSCC codes when legal numbersare not already being used for packing slips and master packs.

Transaction Document Type Maintenance

Use Transaction Document Type Maintenance to define a document type assigned to a legal number. Adocument type links a system transaction to a unique legal number that generates when the transaction is printed.

Note You can use Transaction Document Type for both Accounts Receivable (AR) and Accounts Payable(AP) document types.

If you are using Serial Shipment Container Codes (SSCC), you will need to set up a document type for a packingslip or master pack, and then link the document type to a legal number.

Note You can also create and assign customer specific SSCC codes. To do this, you create a unique legalnumber and document type for a packing slip or master pack, and then assign the document type to aspecific customer from Customer Maintenance. For more information, refer to the Customer Maintenancetopic in the Application Help.

Detail

Use the Detail sheet to enter bank account details, including electronic funds transfer (EFT) information for each

bank from which you send payments.The EFT information includes the bank name, routing number, identification code, and electronic payment exportformat. Settings on the Detail sheet also determine when bank account deposits and withdrawals affect cashaccounts in the books.

Balance

Use the Balance sheet to view your bank account balance. This sheet is for display only and populates based onthe selected fiscal year.

Note A bank account balance is not affected when a check posts if the GL control selected on the bankaccount defines an AP Pending Cash Account, or if the bank is selected to maintain an AP ReconciledBalance (check box is available on the bank account's Detail sheet). If a bank account is selected to

maintain a reconciled AP balance, the Balance sheet on the bank account only updates when the transactionis cleared via Bank Reconciliation.

GL Control

The general ledger (GL) control or controls selected on this sheet determine the accounts and journal codes usedto post transactions to which the record applies.

You can associate one or more GL controls with a record in this setup program. Each control associated with arecord must belong to a different control type. The association allows the use of control values when the recordapplies to a posted transaction.

Example The AR Account and AP Account GL control types reference the company entity. You defineGL controls based on both types and apply them to Company A in Company Configuration. A transactionthat belongs to Company A then posts using the account hierarchy set up for this specific transaction forthe Company A business entity. Posting rules use the controls' account references to create the accountsfor the company's journals.

You cannot associate GL controls with programs where users select posting accounts when they enter transactions.Examples of this type of program include AP Adjustment and Cash Receipts. The Master Chart of Accounts(COA) defines the accounts available in these programs.

Payment Methods

Use the Payment Methods sheets to define which of the payment methods for the current bank account areavailable for Accounts Payable, and which payment methods are available for Accounts Receivable.

Daily Cash Management Processing

This section of the course focuses on Cash Management processes which may take place during a typical workday.

Processes involving the following Cash Management functions are performed on a regular basis:

• Bank Adjustment Entry

• Bank Funds Transfer

• Accounts Receivable

• Accounts Payable

• Payroll

• Petty Cash

Bank Adjustment Entry

Use Bank Adjustment Entry to modify an amount against a specific bank account.

Transactions you enter can only affect bank amounts that do not have sales tax requirements. Bank adjustmentsare posted with a group methodology, and as soon as they post, the Bank Fee and Cash general ledger (GL)accounts associated with the GL controls for that bank account are affected.

Important You can also launch this program through Bank Reconciliation Entry. To do this, click Newand select the New Bank Adjustment option.

You first make bank adjustments by creating an adjustment group and selecting a specific bank within this group.The group contains the adjustments you will make to the account at this bank within the group's fiscal year and

period. Once you define the group, you can create as many adjustments to the bank account as necessary. Youcan also use a Bank Fee code to calculate taxes for the adjustment.

Tip You can enter your adjustment directly on the Summary sheet within the Adjustments grid. Youcan also use the Adjustment sheet; this sheet breaks the adjustment details into separate fields.

After you enter adjustments, review them by printing a Group Edit List. Then post adjustments to the Cashaccount and Bank Fee account assigned to the GL controls for the bank account. Both options are located onthe Actions menu.

Bank Funds Transfer

Use Bank Funds Transfer to move amounts between bank accounts. If the bank accounts use different currencies,the Epicor application by default uses the Exchange Rate for that currency to calculate the transferred amount.

However, you can determine the calculation method used for different currencies by selecting a method fromthe Currency Exchange Difference field in Company Configuration. The choices are:

• Always use default rates

• Use explicit transfer amount or use default rates

• Use explicit transfer amount or use source amount

As part of the transfer process within the application, general ledger (GL) account entries are automaticallycreated.

Bank transfers create four GL transactions:

• Credit the Transfer From Cash account for the bank

• Debit the Transfer From Transfer (clearing) account for the bank

• Credit the Transfer To Transfer (clearing) account for the bank

• Debit the Transfer To Cash account for the bank

The first two GL transactions made as a result of a bank transfer use the journal code linked with the TransferFrom GL controls for the bank; the last two transactions use the journal code linked with the Transfer To GLcontrols for the bank. This helps ensure that both journals balance.

Accounts Payable

The following workshops involve programs found in the Cash Management module related to Accounts Payable.

Refer to the Accounts Payable Course for additional information and workshops on programs in the Accounts

Payable module.

AP Invoice Entry

Supplier invoices are key components in the Purchase Order to Payment process. These Accounts Payable (AP)invoices record and track payments made against linked receipts, purchase orders, and other miscellaneous APfinancial transactions.

In addition to invoices, you create debit memos in AP Invoice Entry to reduce payable balances.

AP Invoice Line Types

You can use each of the following AP invoice line types, along with other factors necessary, to successfully createinvoices and debit memos:

• Advanced Billing lines

• Receipt Billing lines

• Miscellaneous lines

• Job Miscellaneous lines

• Unreceived Billing lines

The following section briefly describes items you encounter when any kind of invoice or debit memo is createdin AP Invoice Entry.

AP Invoice Groups

AP invoice groups collect invoices and post them to the same General Ledger (GL) fiscal period, at the same time.Until a group is posted, the GL is not updated. The actual group ID is irrelevant and can be used again as longas two groups with the same ID do not exist at the same time.

Invoices can be transferred between groups. This functionality can be used to set aside problem invoices for laterprocessing and transfer back to any unposted group once resolved.

Invoice Dates

The invoice date on any invoice header does not need to stay within the confines of the elected period for thegroup. The header period defaults from the group, but you can enter an invoice date outside that period whenyou add invoice details.

Important The default fiscal period on the invoice header does not automatically adjust to match the

invoice date.

Example You create an invoice group and date it in Period 5. You add three invoices to the group, andone is dated outside of Period 5. You forget to change the default fiscal period and year on the invoiceheader to match that of the invoice date entered. Because of this, after the group is posted, an imbalancebetween the GL Report and the Aging Report exists.

Miscellaneous Charges/Credits

You can add miscellaneous charges or credits to any invoice line or header in AP Invoice Entry.

39Epicor ERP | 10.0.700.2




Group Edit List

The Group Edit List is a detailed journal backup of what is posted to the GL. Once a group is posted to the GL,the Edit List cannot be reprinted. It is recommended that you print a hard or electronic copy of the Group EditList prior to posting a group.

Menu Path

Navigate to this program from the Main Menu:• Financial Management > Accounts Payable > General Operations > Invoice Entry

Miscellaneous Line Invoices

Miscellaneous Charge invoices are created to account for miscellaneous expenses that are not linked to anypurchase order or job records. You can select charges specifically for this invoice line; you can also pull inmiscellaneous charges linked to a purchase order line and then apply them to the current AP invoice line.

Tip To enter miscellaneous charges for an entire invoice, click the Header tab and the MiscellaneousCharges tab. Line miscellaneous charges are calculated separately from the charges you select on theHeader Miscellaneous Charge sheet. For more information, read the AP Invoice Entry – HeaderMiscellaneous Charges topic in the Application Help.

AP Payment Entry

Use AP Payment Entry to pay AP invoices through check or electronic payments. After you enter the paymentsand process the checks, you then record these transactions in your General Ledger. This is done by posting thepayments using an Actions menu.

Typically, a payment is made against invoices created to pay suppliers. Additionally, you can pay miscellaneous

expenses that do not have an invoice, enter manual checks written for extra expenses, process debit memos,and make payments to one-time suppliers.

You create a prepayment by entering the name of the supplier, adding a miscellaneous payment, and selectingthe Pre-Payment check box. Then, enter the amount of the prepayment, the prepayment general ledger account,and additional reference information you need. Typically prepayments are received through a contract agreementwhen sales orders are not available.

Use AP Payment Entry to generate a bank export file that can be processed in the AP Bank File ImportWorkbench.

AP Payment Entry allows invoices in different currencies to be paid in one payment group. You can view twodifferent currencies when entering a payment (invoice currency and bank currency). This is useful for a companythat has two bank accounts.

Menu Path


• Financial Management > Accounts Payable > General Operations > Payment Entry

• Financial Management > Cash Management > General Operations > Payment Entry

Process Payments

Use the Process Payments option from the Actions menu to either print checks or create electronic paymentfiles for all payments within the current group.

You can either print checks only or generate a bank export file. The options available on this program dependon the payment method selected on the Group sheet.

If the payment method is for electronic payments, you can select the Bank Export File used to receive thepayment information. Each payment automatically has Remittance Advices printed on it.

If the payment method is for manual checks, the checks are printed in order by Supplier Name. If there is notroom to print out all the invoices being paid to a supplier, the payment is split and a second check is automaticallygenerated.

You can also reprint checks if an error occurs. To do this, select the Process Payments command; Restart ProcessPayments displays. Use this program to correctly reprint the checks.

Important You cannot change check records after they are printed. If there is an error, you need to delete

the check. To print checks, you must have security access to Process Payments. For information on howsecurity is assigned, refer to the Security topics in the Application Help.

Cash Receipts Entry

Use Cash Receipts Entry to enter and post cash receipts. These are transactions you enter for customer payments,customer credits, or miscellaneous cash amounts.

Important Before you can transact within Cash Receipts Entry, you must set up your fiscal periods in FiscalPeriod Maintenance.

A group methodology is used when processing cash receipts. Payments are grouped together to post in a batchmode and update the General Ledger (GL). Unlike an invoice entry group, a cash receipts entry group alwaysdefines the date of the payments in the group, the accounting period it posts to, and the bank account affected.

Note Entry Groups - These are comprised of transactions that occur during the same time period andare ready to edit, print, and post. Entry groups are sometimes referred to as batches. An entry group canalso assign default transaction dates, fiscal periods, and account numbers for the cash receipts in the group.

You can create the following cash receipt transaction types:

• Invoice Payments - These transactions are entered with basic check information. They include detail linesthat describe how the check is used against the customer's outstanding invoices. These transactions debit theCash account and credit the Accounts Receivable account.

• Deposit Payments - These transactions track down payments made against specific sales orders (allocated)or not linked to a sales order (unallocated). They debit the Cash account and credit the account number youenter, which is normally a Prepayments liability account.

• Miscellaneous Payments - These transactions track miscellaneous cash received from sources other thancustomers; they do not change customer AR balances. They debit the Cash account and credit the accountnumber you select.

• Debit Notes - Enter these transactions when a customer requires a payment or invoice deduction. Thesetransactions create open payable amounts. Debit notes can be applied as unallocated amounts on a payment.

They can also be linked directly to an invoice, reducing the invoice's total amount due.

You can also create Unapplied Receipts. By selecting the On Account check box, these transactions areautomatically created when you enter a customer payment that is not applied to a specific open invoice or creditmemo.

Note You can use Apply Credit Memos to assign this amount to another invoice. You can also use ARWrite Off and Adjustment to adjust the balance. For more information, refer to the Apply Credit Memoand AR Write Off and Adjustment topics in the Application Help.

Reverse Cash Receipt

Use Reverse Cash Receipt to reverse a posted cash receipt.

The reversal process does the following:

• Creates a receipt that contains a reversing entry. This negative receipt updates the balances of allocated

invoices. This process leaves an audit trail.• Allows the application of new cash receipts to invoices to which the original receipt was applied.

• Reverses journals in books affected by posting of the original receipt.

This process does not apply to miscellaneous cash receipts or deposits applied to an invoice.

Reverse Cash Receipt Process

In some cases, a portion of the cash receipt might be unapplied. This can occur when a credit memo has beencreated for an invoice to which the receipt applies. In this case, the process does the following:

• Creates a debit memo to reverse the unapplied portion of the receipt. The application uses the settings ofthe credit memo to create a debit memo marked as unapplied cash.

• Transfers the unapplied portion of the credit memo to the new debit memo.

Payroll

The following workshops involve programs found in the Cash Management module related to Payroll. Refer tothe Payroll Course for additional information and workshops on payroll processing.

Deduction Maintenance

Use Deduction Maintenance to define all payroll deductions you can take from one or more employee paychecks.The deduction records you create include employer expenses, employer 401K expenses, employee 401Kcontributions, Advance Earned Income Credit (EIC), employee and employer Roth 401K contributions, pre-401KSection 125 Cafeteria plans, and any other user defined type.

You cannot delete a payroll deduction if it has been used on a payroll check. If you need to delete a deductionon a payroll check which has not yet been posted, first delete the deduction from the payroll check record andthen from Deduction Maintenance.

Epicor ERP | 10.0.700.254




Payroll deductions can be negative amounts. When applied, a negative deduction increases the net amount onan employee's check in the amount of the negative deduction. Use negative deductions in various situations (forexample, to correct a previous check that withdrew too much from an employee's check for a particular deduction).

Important Payroll deductions do not include payroll taxes. You enter these taxes through the Payroll TaxMaintenance program.


• Financial Management > Payroll > Setup > Deduction

Electronic Deposit

When selected, the Electronic Deposit check box indicates this deduction is electronically taken from paychecks.Use this option, for example, to set up a deduction for Direct Deposit into an employee’s checking account.

If this check box is selected, make sure you enter correct electronic deposit information for your bank in BankAccount Maintenance and similar information for your employee in Payroll Employee Maintenance.

Example Create a checking payroll deduction so you can electronically deposit funds into an employee’schecking account. Select the Electronic Deposit check box.

Payroll Employee Maintenance

Once you add at least one payroll class to your company, Payroll Employee Maintenance allows you to enteremployee records. Use payroll employee records to pay the employees of your company.

Payroll Employee Maintenance contains the contact information, social security number, pay rate, pay type, paidtime off (PTO) balance, taxes, deductions, and other details for each employee.

You must be a selected user in Payroll Class Maintenance to access or add employee records because so muchof the information in this maintenance program is confidential. Selected users can add and edit employees in

the payroll classes in which their user IDs are selected. User IDs that are not approved to use a payroll class cannotmaintain records in Payroll Employee Maintenance.

Payroll employee records are different than the shop employee records used within the Job Managementmodule. If your company has payroll employee records and shop employee records, add both to the applicationwith Payroll Employee Maintenance.

After you add employee records, the records designated with an active shop employee status also display in theJob Management module. Select the Active Shop Employee check box from the Payroll sheet to designatethat status for an employee. Subsequent changes made in Payroll Employee Maintenance to records that havean active shop employee status will also be reflected in the shop employee record.

Tip When you first enter employees into the application, add those who are supervisors first, starting withthe CEO. Otherwise an employee's supervisor will not display for selection in the Supervisor field, which

is a required field. You cannot save an employee record unless a supervisor is selected, but you can selectan employee as his or her own supervisor.

Example Employee Sandra Chin is the supervisor of employee Jackson Leary. Enter both employees viaPayroll Employee Maintenance but enter Chin's record first so you can immediately select her ID as thesupervisor on Leary's record.

To correctly pull these hours into a payroll check, you must enter an employee ID, payrolldate, and new time. Select the Payroll check box to indicate that this time is to be sent to the Payroll module.

Menu Path: Service Management > Time Management > General Operations > Time and Expense Entry

Add Labor Hours to a Payroll Check Manually

If labor hours do not pull into payroll for any reason, you must either manually update labor hours in Time andExpense Entry (for shop employees only) or add additional payroll hours in Payroll Check Entry.

When you enter hours in Time and Expense Entry, the hours are also recorded on the Labor Edit Report andcan link directly to a job if details are added to the entry. Adding hours in Payroll Check Entry only calculates thehours to pay. These hours only link to the employee receiving the check.

Use the Hours > Detail sheet to add additional labor hours to a payroll check. From the New menu, select theNew Hours function. You can add new labor hours to either the Hours List grid on the Check > Detail sheetor directly on the Hours > Detail sheet.

Generate Checks

Payroll Check Entry allows you to automatically generate checks for a group. To do this, from the Actionsmenu, run the Generate Checks function.

The Generate Checks function pulls labor hour entries into Payroll Check Entry from the Job Managementmodule (Time and Expense Entry) and calculates the amounts for which the employee should be paid. If the

recorded labor hours are marked as Payroll hours, the Generate Checks function creates a check for each employeewith the correct number of hours worked. This process also generates checks for salaried employees but theirchecks are the same each time payroll runs. Even if labor hours are clocked for salaried employees, their checksremain the same.

After the generate checks process creates employee paychecks, you can open each check and edit them asneeded. Adding hours or checks to an entry group is not uncommon. Examples include human errors withclocking in and out, as well as new hires, PTO, and sick pay you must add to employees' checks. You must updateentry groups nearly every time payroll runs. To add checks and hours to the Payroll Entry Group, from the Newmenu select New Check or New Hours.

Note Before you can run the Generate Checks function, create or select a payroll check entry group.

Add Payroll Checks Manually

It is possible to manually create a new check within a payroll check entry group.

When employees are out of the office sick or on vacation, the payroll manager must add sick pay or vacationpay manually to their checks. In some instances an hourly employee is out of the office for an entire pay period,so the payroll manager must add a manual check as well as the correct pay type hours to the payroll entry group.

To enter a manual check, create or open an existing entry group and from the New menu, select New Check.The Check > Detail sheet displays. On the Check > Detail sheet, select an employee and enter the details of themanual check.

Mass Delete

If you need to restart the check writing procedure for a payroll entry group, from the Actions menu, select MassDelete. This function deletes all checks within the current payroll check entry group.

Use Mass Delete when it makes sense to start the current check run over. After you perform a mass deletion youcan update employee records or labor hours in the pay period of the deleted group. Once you make the necessarychanges, create a new payroll check entry group and generate new paychecks for the pay period of the deletedgroup.

Calculate Taxes and Deductions

After you generate paychecks and make any necessary updates, you must calculate taxes and deductions.Once you finish entering all labor hour entries and gross pay amounts, you are ready to calculate deductions andlevy payroll taxes against the checks. To do this automatically, from the Actions menu, select Calculate Taxesand Deductions.

You must calculate taxes and deductions before you can print and post paychecks. The Epicor application doesnot allow you to move forward without first performing this calculation. You are not required to calculate overtimefor a payroll check entry group but if you do, the application automatically separates regular pay from overtimepay.

For more information on calculating overtime, refer to the Calculate Overtime topic in the Application Help.

After you calculate taxes and deductions, you can view individual checks and override tax and deduction amounts,if necessary. To do this, on the Deductions sheet or the Taxes sheet, select the line that needs updates and

select the Manually Calculated check box.Important If you update any checks after taxes and deductions have calculated, you must re-run theCalculate Taxes and Deductions process.

Epicor ERP | 10.0.700.260




Calculate Overtime

Payroll Check Entry allows you to automatically calculate overtime pay.

After you generate or enter all checks for a payroll check entry group, from the Actions menu, select CalculateOvertime. Overtime pay then calculates on each meriting paycheck.

Important Only calculate overtime after you adjust paychecks to include sick time and vacation hours.

Print Checks

In Payroll Check Entry, from the Actions menu, select the Print Checks function to print out checks for thecurrent payroll check entry group. You can only print checks for one group at a time.

Important You can also only print checks if you have security clearance to print checks. The Print Checksfunction is secured independently from the rest of Payroll Check Entry. For more information, refer to theSecurity topic for Menu Maintenance in the Application Help.

Tip Payroll checks print in the order you define in Company Configuration on the Modules > Finance

> Payroll sheet. For more information, refer to the Payroll Configuration topic in the Application Help.

Direct Deposit

Use Payroll Check Entry to pay employees electronically. To do this, you must first set up a deduction that is paidelectronically. Then, when you print checks, select an Electronic Deposit File to which the employees' payrollinformation is recorded. Once you select Print, a direct deposit file is saved to the location specified in theElectronic Deposit File field.

Tip For more information on how to set up employees for direct deposit payments, refer to the DirectDeposit topic in the Application Help.

Override Payroll Check Numbers

The Override Check check box is available after the first time you select Print Checks on a group of paychecks.Select the Override Check check box to change the check number to the one currently loaded in your printer (ifthe number differs from the default).

Important Once a check posts, the Epicor application automatically defaults to the next check number,even if hundreds of check numbers were skipped in the override.

Example In the Print Checks window, the Check Number Currently Loaded field defaults as 79, butthe physical check available for print is 200 (numbers 80-199 are missing). If 100 employees are paid inthis payroll run, and the Override Check check box is selected, the following describes what happens:

•You select the Override Check option.

• You change the Check Number Currently Loaded field from 79 to 200.

• You print checks (numbers 200-299 are used).

• You post the payroll entry group with the changed check numbers.

• You locate check numbers 80-199 and want to use the checks for the next payroll run.

• You create a new payroll entry group and generate checks.

• You select Print Checks.

• The Check Number Currently Loaded field displays 300 (instead of 79).

61Epicor ERP | 10.0.700.2




When this situation occurs, override the check number again and take into account that the Epicorapplication will stop processing when it reaches check number 200. This is because the application cannotcreate a duplicate check number, nor does it know to skip to the highest check number ever printed (300in this instance).

Two options are available to continue with the process:

• In the Epicor application, manually void check numbers 80-199; they will never be used.

•Override the check numbers to 80 and allow the check run to process. When the application stopsprinting at check number 200, reprint the group of checks but specify the last good check numberprinted was 199 and the check number currently loaded is 300.

Workshop - Calculate, Print, and Override Payroll Checks

In this workshop, calculate overtime, taxes, and deductions for the existing payroll checks in your group. Afterthe calculations complete, print the payroll checks.

Calculate Overtime

1. Maximize Payroll Check Entry.

2. From the Actions menu, select Calculate Overtime.

A message about redistribution of regular hours displays.


Because you did not log overtime for any employee, the check total does not change after you calculateovertime.

Calculate Taxes and Deductions

1. From the Actions menu, select Calculate Taxes and Deductions.

2. Click Yes to the confirmation message that displays.

3. Navigate to the Check > List sheet and select Linda Carter's check.

Review the changes to the check that occurred after the calculation of taxes and deductions. Look at eachsheet (Check > Detail, Deductions, and Taxes) to review the calculations for the check. Note that the onlytaxes Linda Carter has deducted from her check are social security taxes. This is because her check amountis not large enough to calculate lower priority taxes.

The remainder of the check that is shown as a deduction is for the direct deposit to her bank.

Print Checks

1. From the Actions menu, select Print Checks.

The Print Checks window displays.

2. Select the Override Check check box.

3. In the Check number currently loaded field, enter 100.

Epicor ERP | 10.0.700.262




4. Click Electronic Deposit File.

Because the employee has electronic deposit information on the Direct Deposit deduction, you must selecta file to which the checks should process. Typically, this is the file your company submits to both their bankaccount and their employee's bank account to authorize and record the direct deposit activity. Currently,the only format the application supports is a text file, so if the bank requires a different file type (such asNACHA), custom programming of the database is needed to complete direct deposit deductions.

5. In the File name field, enter XXX.EDF (where XXX are your initials).

6. Click Save.

You can save these electronic files to your desktop.

7. Click Print.

When prompted, select a printer and click OK. Print to an image writer if possible. Checks do not post ifyou do not print them first.

8. Close the Print Checks window and remain in Payroll Check Entry.

Print Register

Before you send paychecks to the printer or generate a direct deposit file, use the Payroll Check Register reportto review all information on the checks. The check register allows you to verify the accuracy of all paychecks inthe current group.

The Payroll Check Register Report (Print Register Report) displays totals in a summarized form and includes thetotal hours for each pay type as well as total tax and deductions.

To run this report, from the Actions menu, select Print Register.

When all checks in the current group are correct, print the checks or generate the direct deposit file.

Tip If you do not print a register before you print checks, the Post option is available from the Actionsmenu immediately after you print checks. If you attempt to post the group without printing the checkregister, the Epicor application displays a warning that advises changes have been made since the registerwas last printed and printing one should be considered before you post the entry group.

If you print a register before you print checks, the Post option is not available immediately after you printchecks. To prevent inaccurate records, you must print an updated register before you post the entry group.The Epicor application disables the Post option until a new check register prints.

Post Checks

To complete the payroll check entry process, you must submit payroll transactions to the general ledger (GL).

Once you print checks or create the direct deposit file (when applicable), in the payroll entry group under theActions menu, the Post option becomes available.

Workshop - Print the Check Register and Post Checks

After you verify that your checks printed successfully, print a check register for your records and post the groupof checks.

1. From the Actions menu, select Print Register.

5. To the Post message, click Yes.

The Payroll Check Post Process window displays.

6. Click Submit and close the Payroll Check Post Process window.

7. Exit Payroll Check Entry.

Payroll Void Check Maintenance

Use Payroll Void Check Maintenance to cancel a posted payroll check. When you cancel a payroll check, the

check is marked as Void.

When you void a check using this program, reversing general ledger (GL) transactions are automatically createdto reduce the year-to-date (YTD) amounts for the selected employee. Payroll Void Check Maintenance is especiallyvaluable when you must remove a check from both the GL and an employee's record. Voiding payroll checks isthe only way to reverse, delete, or cancel posted checks.

Important If the check you select to void is for an employee who has an unposted check in Payroll CheckEntry, you cannot move forward with a void for any of this employee’s checks. This prevents miscalculationsof YTD totals. For more information on posting payroll checks, refer to the Payroll Check Entry topic inthe Application Help.

Specialized Cash Management Processing

This section of the Cash Management course focuses on Cash Management processes which take place outsideof a typical daily routine.

The following Cash Management function is performed on an as needed basis:

• Bank Reconciliation

Bank Reconciliation Entry

Bank Reconciliation Entry reconciles bank statements with all the cash transactions created through accountspayable (AP) payments, payroll check processing, accounts receivable (AR) cash receipts, payment instruments,and all other bank transactions.

Bank Reconciliation Entry only processes and clears cash transactions. To reconcile cash transactions, create andedit bank account statements.

The main functions of Bank Reconciliation Entry include the following:

• Select specific transactions (payments, cash receipts, payment instruments, payroll processing) to clear fromthe bank account.

• Create bank adjustments and enter manual AP payments.

• Add deposit, invoice, and miscellaneous cash receipts that have not been entered in the Epicor application.

• Post new transactions to the current bank account and to the general ledger (GL) accounts specified in theGL controls attached to the bank account.

Depending on how you receive bank statements, use Bank Reconciliation Entry monthly or daily. If you reconcile

checks monthly, update your records with the bank statement your financial institution provides on a monthlybasis. If you use this program daily, it becomes more like a journal because you can reconcile bank statementsimmediately with each transaction.

Note Use Bank Reconciliation Entry to review open transactions at a selected bank any time you need thisinformation.

Menu Path

Statement

Use the Statement sheet to create or edit a bank reconciliation statement. You must select a bank accountbefore you can enter statement information.

You can only open one statement per bank at the same time. Once you create or select a statement, you cancreate bank reconciliation lines.

Specialized Cash Management ProcessingCash Management Course



Tip Use the Closing Date Cutoff check box to determine which transactions can be selected forreconciliation. Select the check box to make the statement closing date the last day transactions are availableto be selected for reconciliation. Or, if you clear the check box, transactions after the closing date will alsobe available to be selected for reconciliation.

The bank reconciliation lines linked to this statement display in the Bank Reconciliation Lines grid. Use this gridto create, review, and edit these lines.

Payment Clearing

Use the Payment Clearing sheet to process and clear AP payments against the current bank account. Whenyou create a new payment clearing, the current payments for the selected bank display in the AP Paymentsgrid. Payments initially display in numerical order by check number.

In the AP Payments grid, select successfully processed payments using one or more of the following methods:

• Select the Cleared check box to work with a specific check number.

• Highlight a check line in the grid and click the Clear button to clear a specific check.

• Click the Clear Range button and enter a beginning and ending check number to select a range of checknumbers to clear.

• Use the Select All and Deselect All buttons to select or deselect all check numbers in the list.

As you select or deselect payments, the total amounts display in the fields in the Selection Totals section.

If a check amount does not match the amount on the bank statement, you can change the amount to what isrecorded on the statement. The unresolved difference posts to the Variance account selected on the bankaccount's GL control.

Click the View Current or View Any button to launch the Payment Tracker and view check details.

• View Current - This launches the Payment Tracker which displays details of the check currently highlightedon the grid display.

• View Any - This prompts you for a check number and then launches the Payment Tracker which displaysinformation about the selected check.

Tip To learn how to enter payments, refer to the Payment Entry topic in the Application Help.

Payroll Clearing

Use the Payroll Clearing sheet to process and clear payroll checks for the current bank account. When youcreate a new payroll clearing, current payments for the selected bank display in the Payroll Payments grid.Payroll checks initially display in numerical order by check number.

In the Payroll Payments grid, indicate which payments the bank successfully processed. As you select and deselectpayments, the total amounts display in the fields in the Selection Totals section.

Methods used to select and clear payroll checks are similar to those used to clear AP payments.

Tip To learn how to enter payroll payments, refer to the Payroll Check Entry topic in the ApplicationHelp.

Cash Management CourseSpecialized Cash Management Processing



Transaction Clearing

Use the Transaction Clearing sheet to apply specific open transactions to the selected bank account. Whenyou create a transaction clearing, the current pending transactions for the selected bank account display in theTransactions grid, as well as bank fee information.

If you select the Reconciled AR Balance or Reconciled AP Balance check boxes for a bank account in Bank

Account Maintenance, bank fees and related taxes are booked at the time of reconciliation. If the ReconciledAR Balance and Reconciled AP Balance options on the bank account are not set, bank fees and taxes are booked.

Important Open transactions within your database display on this sheet, so it is not uncommon to selectspecific transactions to clear.

In the Transactions grid, indicate which transactions the bank successfully processed. As you select and deselecttransactions, the total amounts display in the fields in the Selection Totals section.

Post Statement

Use the Post Statement process to reconcile current statement transactions with the selected bank account.

This option is available if a transaction on the current statement has cleared and its variance amount is zero.This process removes reconciled entries. General Ledger (GL) transactions are automatically created during thisprocess; transactions are placed in the fiscal period selected on the statement.

Important Ensure the transactions are correct before you select the Post Statement option. You cannotedit posted transactions. If a mistake is made, you must enter an offsetting entry to correct the error.

The posting process performs the following actions:

• Removes reconciled bank and check transactions from the statement.

• Creates GL transactions for existing bank fees and variance amounts. GL transactions post to the Cash, BankFee, and Variance accounts from the GL controls for the bank account.

• If the Reconciled AP Balance check box is selected on the bank record, cleared amounts debit the Pending

Cash account and credit the Cash account defined in the bank's GL controls.

• The closing balance and closing date move to the opening balance and opening date; the closing balanceand closing date then display zero values. You can then create a new statement when ready.

Tip When you post cash receipts, they automatically display on the Transaction Clearing sheet as cleared.This is because you usually enter these transactions from a bank statement and cash receipts on the bankstatement have already cleared.
