PAY-CANCEL-DT Effective date of the cancellation.
Example
Original Payment 700.00

CA Payment 0.00
HRIS Payment* – 700.00
HRIS Entitlement* – 1000.00
HRIS Deduction* – 300.00
Total 0.00

Note: If a cancellation is the only payment in a voucher, the voucher’s transaction code must be 050 – Deposits of Receipts. This process is only used to submit a payroll voucher to cancel a payment. The process has the effect of processing a ‘negative payroll.’ But, since the VOUCHER AMOUNT field is protected for Pay-Trans-Type 050 and the PAY-AMT field is protected for Trans-Type CA, the voucher and payment records are processed in HRIS as zero amounts by default. HRIS then searches the payroll files for the previously posted payroll transactions, as referenced by the payment cancellation transactions, and generates and processes the adjusting entries as appropriate.

If the original warrant is the sum of two or more payments due to multiple jobs, a CA transaction must be submitted for each job.

Payment Adjustment

Pay-Trans-Type: PA

Definition
a Cancellation of an employee’s net pay and specific deductions.
b Cancellation of an employee’s net pay only.
Submitted
a (–) Payment – 83 Record

ORIG-FY The fiscal year of the original payment being adjusted.

PAY-AMT Adjustment amount.
PAY-CANCEL-DT Effective date of the adjustment.
Example a An employee’s check must be canceled due to an overpayment of $50.00, but one of the deductions on the check has already been sent to the vendor; therefore, the entire check cannot be canceled. The employee’s check was for $700 (entitlement = $1000; deduction = $300). The agency will have to submit the payroll with an adjusted gross (the entire check minus the amount sent to the vendor). The payment record will reflect –$700; the entitlement record, –$900; and the deduction record, –$200. The agency will then submit a supplemental payroll to pay the employee the correct amount minus the $100 already paid to the vendor.
Original Payment 700.00
Original Entitlement 1000.00
Original Deductions 300.00
PA Payment – 700.00
PA Entitlement – 900.00
PA Deduction – 200.00

Example b An employee’s net pay amount must be canceled to replace a lost or destroyed warrant. The deductions are not affected by this process. The employee’s warrant was for $700 (entitlement = $1000; deduction = $300). The agency will have to submit the payroll with an adjusted gross (entitlement minus deduction). The payment record will reflect $–700, and the entitlement record, $–700. The agency will then submit a supplemental payroll to replace the employee’s net pay amount. The payment record on the supplemental payroll will reflect $700 and the entitlement record, $700.
Original Payment 700.00
Original Entitlement 1000.00
Original Deductions 300.00
PA Payment – 700.00
PA Entitlement – 700.00
