Update Prenote Codes

The Update Prenote Codes process automatically changes prenote codes to send codes for direct deposits when the prenote date is reached.  The routine also sets the prenote codes update date.  Prenote codes indicate that direct deposits are in the prenote testing phase.  Send codes indicate the direct deposits are ready for live processing.  In addition, any scheduled deduction amounts in prenote are changed to zero and you are notified of the change.  Confirm the amounts on the Payroll Check Edit Register.

Transmission Date

Enter the Direct Deposit Transmission date, which contains the date you plan to transmit the direct deposit file to the bank.  (MM/DD/CCYY)

Note:  The Transmission date, usually today's date, must be a predetermined number of lead days before the Direct Deposit Effective Date, so the bank has enough lead time to process the transactions.  The DD-Days Table controls the number of lead days required (usually two).
