Note: There may be instances where the Payment Creation step of a Pay Cycle is performed unintentionally, resulting in the wrong payments being moved forward in the overall Pay Cycle process. When this occurs, two major actions can be taken to start the Pay Cycle over.  While these actions can be done independently, this particular scenario requires the two actions be performed in the following order:

  1. Rejecting a Pay Cycle through Pay Cycle Approvals
  2. Resetting a Pay Cycle through Pay Cycle Manager

To demonstrate this scenario, we are starting with a Pay Cycle where both the Payment Selection and Payment Creation processes have been run for payments we did not want to process.

Rejecting a Pay Cycle through Pay Cycle Approvals

Navigation: Accounts Payable > Payments > Pay Cycle Processing > Pay Cycle Manager

  1. The Pay Cycle Manager search page displays.
  2. Enter or lookup Pay Cycle.
  3. Select the Search button.
  1. The Pay Cycle Manager page displays.
  2. The Pay Cycle Status shows 'Approved' and the option to perform a Pay Cycle Reset is grayed out. The first action necessary to correct the Pay Cycle Status is Rejecting a Pay Cycle.
  3. Some colleges are set up to not have any extra approvals when a Pay Cycle is run. Because of this, Pay Cycles go directly to an 'Approved' status after the Payment Creation step is completed.
