Overview
Inline Edit lets you update stuck pay run records when a pay run isn't progressing through the expected stages. This function allows direct editing of pay run record fields, including status changes — but it must be used with caution.
⚠️ Important Warning
Only change Pay Run Status using Inline Edit when explicitly advised by Zone Payroll Support.
This is not a general troubleshooting tool or a process shortcut.
Incorrect use may:
- 🔴 Disrupt payroll processing
- 🔴 Cause incorrect pay run states
- 🔴 Impact payslip generation and reporting
- 🔴 Lead to payroll reconciliation issues
🚫 Do NOT use Inline Edit to:
- Skip payroll steps
- Force progress through a pay run incorrectly
- "Speed up" processing
- Fix unrelated payroll errors
