This could have happened for several reasons and is very easy to fix. It often occurs when you have previously exited the batch incorrectly OR you have not exited and someone else is trying to make entries to the same batch. To exit a CPER batch, simply press the F3 key. Please be sure to have the Batch Number available when you call and it will only take us a few seconds to free the documents for you. If you create CPERs and PPERs and do not want them to process when payroll runs, be sure to delete them.
Departments often create several PPERs for the same person, some of which are unnecessary.
When payroll edits are worked on Friday afternoon, we have to investigate these multiple documents to make sure they won't cause any problems. If you delete them, it will help to prevent us from having to call you. You will get a message that the document has been marked for deletion. Then simply press F3 to exit the document. DO NOT delete batched CPERs.
