How do I create an employee payment run using the report pack

Using a specific report pack, you can now seamlessly create a payment run when the reports are published into Cintra Cloud.

To select a report pack that will trigger a payment run navigate to the Report Packs definition window, 

1. Navigate to the Report Packs window. Go to Cintra iQ: Payroll> Payroll Tools> Payroll Report Packs.
2. Create the Report Pack details.
3. Select Generate Payment Run in the Output Options tab.
   

     Note: Only Report Packs that are set to Publish can be selected to trigger a payment run, ensuring accurate data for Cintra Cloud users.

4. Save. You are returned to the Report Pack definition window.
5. Select the desired Report Pack.
6. Click the Run button. The Report Pack-Select Payroll and Period form appears.
7. Select the desired Payroll.
8. Select the desired payroll period from the Report results for the payroll period drop-down.
9. Click the Run button. The Report Pack has now created a payment run for the selected pay period.

1. To see your payment run go to Cintra iQ: Payroll> Payroll Tools> Paying Out> Pay Employees
2. Select the required payroll. The current payroll period for this payroll is displayed.   

Cintra IQ users retain control over the authorisation and closure of payment runs.

Build in validation:

• The automatic process includes data validation.
• if issues arise, such as missing payment methods or incomplete Auto Enrolment assessment, the Report Pack will not publish, and no payment run will be created. This allows you to address data issues before payroll is finalised. 
• If an open payment run exists when the report pack is run, the reports will not be published and the payment run will not be overridden. You need to complete that payment run or delete it before proceeding.
