I keep getting the following error "Batches with zero transactions cannot be marked" How can I complete the build checks without creating a transaction?

Hi Tom,
Thanks so much. This is very helpful and has solved the problem.... :O)
To clarify ... Batches are used to process transactions which are marked as "Transaction Required". This applies to pay codes, deductions and benefits. If a "code" is not marked as "Transaction Required", it is considered to be an "automatic" transaction. These include things like salary transactions and recurring deductions where the deduction amount is fixed (e.g. health insurance) and derived (i.e. retirement as a % of wages). Batches are used to create transactions for things like hourly transactions, variable deduction amounts, tips transactions and adjustments to salary transactions (e.g. reduce hours/amount).
The payroll build process does not require that you include a batch of transactions, so long as you select to include "automatic" transactions. Typically this is accomplished by marking "Salary" the appropriate pay period. Typically, users will also mark which deductions and benefits to include.
Hope this helps.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your reply.
I created a brand new batch for this month. I don't have any other batches available.
Hi,
Uncheck the Batch in the Select Batches window and use any other batches to continue.
If this is not possible, could you give us more details on what Batches you do have in the Build?
thanks much,
Thomas S.
