Hello Dynamics community,
I'm currently facing a challenge in the Payroll module of Dynamics 365 F&O and would greatly appreciate your insights and advice.
Scenario: I need to process multiple different payments for a single employee within a month. These payments include the regular salary and recurring salary components, as well as ad-hoc payments such as per-diems, bonuses, loans etc. Each of these payments should be generated on a separate pay statement.
Current approach: I have been generating an earning statement and adding these ad-hoc elements manually each month. By releasing and processing them one by one (as additional payment runs), I have managed to address this issue to some extent. The regular salary and the occuring payroll components I am processing as a primary run.
Question: Is it possible to configure this scenario by creating different pay cycles and payroll calculation frequencies within the system? For example, one pay cycle for the regular salary, another for per diems, and a third for loan. Specifically, can an employee’s position be mapped to multiple pay cycles, or as far as I can see it is limited to just one?
Attempted solution: I tried creating a new payroll calculation frequency (e.g., per diem) and assigned this frequency to the per diem earning code assigned in the employee’s profile. However, when attempting to generate an earning statement for the per diem pay cycle, I encountered the error: “Selection criteria did not return any result.”
Request for assistance: Can this configuration be achieved without customization? If so, what steps should I follow to set it up correctly? Additionally, how do payroll calculation frequencies work when assigned to the earning codes in an employee’s profile?
Any guidance or best practices from those who have faced similar challenges would be immensely helpful.
Thank you!
