Check Entry - Run Code Area

Use the Run Code Area to verify the Run Code that you entered when you opened Check Entry and to verify the check dates that you entered in the Edit Payroll Check Dates prompt, if applicable.  If the employee is set up to distribute the pay among multiple departments, you can maintain the salary and regular hours totals to control the detail line amounts.  The table following the window example describes the Run Code Area for Payroll Check Entry and Permanent Payroll Check Entry.

Tip:  You can only maintain the fields in this area if pay distribution for multiple departments is active for the employee.  Otherwise, the fields are locked from input.  You can set up pay distribution during Employee Master Maintenance in the Employee Pay Distribution Area.  For more information, refer to the Advanced Feature - Distributing Pay to Multiple Departments topic.
