Approve lock and mark a payroll run exported

Steps

1. Open the computed run in Payroll Runs → Run Workspace and review employee totals, validations and attendance evidence.

2. An authorised approver chooses Approve run only after the attendance evidence has loaded and blockers have been resolved.

3. Choose Lock run when the approved run is ready for controlled export, then verify the updated status.

4. Generate and check the actual report or bank file in Reports. Use Mark exported only in the allowed run state after the export handover.

5. If correction is required, use Return to computed or Return to draft only when offered and authorised, then repeat calculation and review. Marking exported does not itself transfer money.
