Setting Up Offload Processing (Optional)

If your payroll posting is taking a significant amount of time to post due to a large transaction volume, you can set up Microsoft Dynamic GP's Distributed Process Server to send the payroll posting process to another computer on your network. This reduces the workload of client computers and improves posting performance. The client computer used for data entry will be immediately available to perform other tasks, so you don’t have to wait to continue working while the task is completed, or work more slowly while the task is completed in the background.

To set this up, see the Microsoft Dynamics GP System Administrator documentation, specifically Part 3: Distributed Process Server. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-gp/installation/systemadminguide#part-3-distributed-process-server

When setting this up for TimeTrack payroll posting, in the DPS Setup window, select Third Party and then mark the Remote checkbox to the left of Payroll: Signature Post.

Viewing the Process Monitor

You can view the posting progress in the Process Monitor (Microsoft Dynamics GP > Process Monitor).

Additional Information

When you are printing the payroll reports, the options to print the report from the remote computer are Printer and/or File. 

• The printer will need to be a networked printer.
• When saving to a file, this will need to be a networked location.

A payroll build cannot be removed or rebuilt until the posting has been completed on the remote computer.
