GENERATE DISBURSEMENT INTERFACE FILE#

Processing Information#

If your company is printing your employee's check stubs and deposit notices through a third party's program or your own custom check system / program, then you need to create an interface file with the data required for printing. This function creates a Check/Deposit Interface file for those disbursements selected. For each disbursement record processed, all checks and deposits that are part of the disbursement are marked as printed, so that they are not picked up again in subsequent executions.

This function is a replacement for the UPSTUBC/UPSTUBD process.

You may generate the interface file through the Generate Check/Deposit Interface File (UPDIF) form.

Each client must set up their own interface format(s) by choosing from the record types provided in this document. Personality provides a sample interface format that includes an ‘all data’ interface file. Clients can choose from the record types and columns provided to customize their own formats.

Pay Stubs are sorted by check number or deposit number. These numbers are assigned as requested in the parameter form for disbursement (UPDISB).
