Perform the Initial Test Direct Deposit

After you configure Vantagepoint to direct deposit the amounts into an employee's bank account (or accounts), you must run an initial test of the direct deposit process. This ensures that the account information is accurate in Vantagepoint and that the next "live" payroll run will post to the correct bank accounts.

To perform the initial test direct deposit:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Payroll > Payroll Payments.
  2. On the Payroll Payments form, do one of the following:
    • In the Payment run search, select a payment run with a status of Selecting Manual or Selecting Auto.
    • Click + New Payment Run. Complete the form to create a new payment run.
  3. In the Employee Pay Details grid, select the Include in Run check box for all employees that you want to include in the payroll payment run, to perform the initial direct deposit.
    This selection process applies only for manual process type payment runs. Vantagepoint automatically saves changes that you make on the form.
  4. Hover over the employee name for which you want to view information and at the end of the row, do one of the following:
    • Click and select Edit Details.
    • Click .
  5. In the Other Pay section of the Employee Review dialog box, select the Override check box for each applicable other pay amount line and enter a minimal value for other pay amounts to serve as initial direct deposit and to test the process for the next payroll payment run.
  6. Process payroll payments and print payments for the payment run.
    For more information, see: step 3 of Run a Regular Payroll.
  7. Click OK to close the dialog box.
    Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each employee for whom you want to specify other pay amounts.
  8. On the Actions bar of the Payment Printing and Numbering form, click Process Payments.
  9. Process payroll payments and print payments for the payment run.
    For more information, see: step 4 of the Regular Payroll Process.
  10. In the Effective Entry Date field on the Electronic Funds Transfer form, enter the date on which entries are to be posted to employee accounts.
  11. In the Electronic Funds Transfer grid, select a payroll run to process.
  12. On the toolbar of the Electronic Funds Transfer grid, click Print.
    Vantagepoint opens a new browser window and displays the Direct Deposit Report, which you use to review the employees and amounts to be processed.
  13. On the grid toolbar, click Process Transfer.
  14. On the Download Electronic Funds Transfer Files dialog box, select the file that you want to create.
  15. Click Download.
    Vantagepoint downloads the file to your computer. You can now send the file to the bank, for the crediting of the payroll amounts processed.

    The employee's direct deposit status in the Employees hub Direct Deposit grid changes from Add to Wait.

Next Step: When you receive verification from the bank that the employee's account information is valid, you must manually change the Status to Active in the Direct Deposit grid under the Banking Information section on the Accounting tab in the Employees hub to indicate that the account has been validated.
