[PR] When can you generate a Prenote file for Payroll

A pre-note file can be generated and sent to your bank after entering the employee banking information in PR Employees on the Direct Deposit tab and selecting the Pre-Note radio button.

Key Points:

• Generating a pre-note file does not require an open pay period.

• The file contains no dollar amounts; it is used solely to verify the accuracy of the employee’s banking information with the bank.

• Once the bank accepts the pre-note, change the employee’s status to Active to enable EFT processing for the next payroll.

3. Choose the Pre-Note option.

4. Enter or select the Effective Date.

5. Click Continue.
