Manual Runs
The platform will automatically trigger pay runs. However, pay runs can be manually triggered by using the “Manual Run” feature.
This feature is used if you need to manually trigger the payments that have been added by payroll. This is particularly useful if you need to reconcile donations that have not been processed at the right time and are causing data discrepancies. In other terms, the manual trigger allows you to go back in time and process the donations selected as if they were being processed at the time you specified.
You have two different kinds of pay runs: the Test and the Manual Run.
Test runs
They doe not process any donation but will tell you how many donations would be processed if you click on Manual Run with these types of payments (Cycle Frequency, Payment Date, Employee Types). This allows you to verify the number of donations that will be triggered before you actually do it.
Manual Runs
Manual Run will processed the donations at the dates specified.
