Add Client
Overview
Adding a new client in ProPay requires two simple steps: selecting the Add Client function and assigning a unique File ID. This File ID serves as a 3-character identifier for organizing and accessing client payroll data.
Adding a New Client
Follow these steps to add a new client:
- From the Client Functions menu, select Add Client.
- Enter the File ID when prompted.
File ID Guidelines
The File ID is a 3-character identifier that must be unique for each client. ProPay provides a default File ID scheme:
- First character: A letter from A to Z
- Second and third characters: Two digits from 01 to 99
Valid File ID examples: A01, B22, C50
Important: Do not use Z01 as a File ID. This identifier is reserved by ProPay.
Changing a Client ID
If you need to change an existing client's ID, follow these steps:
- Go to Client Functions > Miscellaneous > Check File Integrity > Change Client File ID.
- When prompted, enter the existing 3-character client ID.
- Enter the new 3-character client ID.
Troubleshooting
Issue: Unable to add a new client
- Ensure you have the necessary permissions to add clients.
- Verify that you selected Add Client from the Client Functions menu.
- Check that the File ID you're trying to use isn't already assigned to another client.
Issue: Can't change a client ID
- Confirm that you have the required access rights to modify client information.
- Verify you navigated to the correct menu path: Client Functions > Miscellaneous > Check File Integrity > Change Client File ID.
- Ensure the existing client ID you entered is correct and exists in the system.
- Verify that the new client ID isn't already in use.
