What This Report Does


  • The purpose of this report is to ensure that multiple employees are not assigned the same Direct Deposit Number in the payroll. This occurrence is not likely under normal circumstances, but the likelihood increases when Set Direct Deposit Numbers has been run multiple times on a Pay ID.


Check Settings - Direct Deposit Numbers


  • HR → Payroll → Continue Tab → Check Settings → Direct Deposit Numbers
  • The current Pay ID should be in the Selected Pay Identification field.
  • Normally, no need to Range on Bank ID since all direct deposits on the selected Pay ID should be issued from the same Bank ID.
  • Click Select to run the report, which will automatically appear on your screen.
  • If the report states, There were no direct deposit numbers assigned to multiple employees, it means each employee has been assigned a unique direct deposit number; click Cancel and proceed with the payroll.
  • If there are Direct Deposit Numbers listed on the report, return to Set Direct Deposit Numbers and reassign numbers as needed, then run this report again to make sure there are no longer direct deposit numbers assigned to more than one employee; NOTE: we recommend that you let the system maintain an ongoing sequence of Direct Deposit Numbers.
  • Next, run the report under Check Settings that looks for duplicate Direct Deposit Numbers across Pay IDs; if employees will have checks in this Pay ID, also run the report that looks for duplicate Check Numbers across all Pay IDs.
