To ensure that the system includes the correct amounts on your quarterly tax reports, you should run the Payroll History Audit Report each month. You should investigate and correct any variances that appear on this report before you print your tax reports.

Use this report in conjunction with the summary history integrity reports to ensure the integrity of your data. This report:

  • Compares detail history information to summary history information

  • Does not make any corrections

  • Prints information for one month at a time

Refer to user defined code 07/ER for a list of the error codes that might print on the report.

During final update, you can also print the Tax History Integrity report and the PDBA Integrity report. Use these reports to verify the integrity of payroll summary history.
