Payroll is Posting to Existing Batches

We recently switched from having named payroll files to having separate data folders for our field and office payrolls.  This resulted in some of our payrolls posting to existing batches (appending to them, not replacing) in cash management.  We have separate CM files for field and office, but they are in the same data folder.

We've had a few instances where our office payroll posted to our field CM register.  Could this be because payroll is picking an existing batch number?

    Hi sgauthier,

    From what you said, when you print checks or generate direct deposits in Payroll,you should get a file selection box asking you which Cash Management Register file the checks or direct deposits need to draw from.

    When you post payroll, you would get the same selection box asking which register file you want to post to. The system will allow you to select one file for printing / generating, and then later a different file for posting. This would leave a stranded unposted entry in the first register file.

    Long story short, the batch number doesn't determine which file is used, the file is selected by the user.

    Thanks!
