This article reviews the process of reviewing and approving pay runs on the classic Payments Overview page for R365 Payroll. Learn more about reviewing and approving pay runs on the new Payroll Overview page here. 

Once a Payroll Payment Run has been added to the Payment Overview page, it will appear in the Ready To Calculate list. Calculating a Payment will apply Taxes and Contributions to the Payments. If Payments have one ore more errors, they will be moved to the Needs Attention list for review, repair, and recalculating. 

Calculated Payment Runs without errors will be moved to the Pending Approval section. 

Click 'Approve' to approve and submit the Payment Run. Submitting the Payment Run will withdraw the total funds from the account on file.
