WPS Banking Rejection Reasons
Bank-side rejection patterns are often predictable. Align routing and validation controls early to prevent delays.
High-impact rejection causes
- Routing code does not match target institution.
- Employer or employee IDs fail format checks.
- Date and period fields are inconsistent with payroll cycle.
Pre-submission controls
- Verify routing codes using a maintained reference list.
- Confirm salary totals and month alignment before final export.
- Run a final peer review for high-value payroll batches.
Operational response after rejection
- Record rejection reason and impacted rows.
- Correct root cause in source data, not just the final file.
- Re-submit after validation pass and documented sign-off.
FAQ
Do all rejections indicate payroll errors?
Not always. Some are formatting or routing mismatches that can be corrected without salary recalculation.
How often should routing references be checked?
Review before each payroll cycle and after any institutional updates.
Can rejections be fully eliminated?
No system can guarantee zero rejections, but disciplined pre-checks can reduce avoidable failures.
