You can print payroll history reports to have the information you need to answer questions about employees' payroll history information. You can print reports that include the following types of payroll history information:

  • Earnings and tax information history

37.10 Reviewing the Historical Payroll Register

From Payroll Master (G07), choose History Reports

From History Inquiries (G0715), choose Historical Payroll Register

Use the Historical Payroll Register to review detail or summary payment information for individual employees. The payment information includes pay types, taxes, DBAs, and the corresponding year-to date and current totals. In addition to totals for pay types, deductions, and benefits, the report includes totals for accruals. This simplifies the process of reconciling the total accrual liability. You can print the reports in different formats:

  • Full detail by check

  • Summary per pay period

  • Summary per month

  • Summary per quarter

  • Summary per year

You can cross payroll cycle boundaries by selecting dates and employees outside a payroll.

When you run the Historical Payroll Register, the system creates two Historical Payroll Register workfiles (F06345 and F063451).

To ensure that your summary payroll history tables update correctly, you can balance this report to the payroll register reports that you print when you process each payroll cycle.

You need two versions of the program to run the Historical Payroll Register. One version builds the historical paycheck workfiles (Form ID P06345), and the other prints the report (Form ID P06346). You can create your own versions of these programs and change their data selection and data sequence. When you create your own versions, you must use the same version name for the workfile build as you use for the report.

37.10.1 Before You Begin

  • Create a version for the report. The name of this version must match the name of the version you enter on the Historical Payroll Register form.

To review the Historical Payroll Register

On the first Historical Payroll Register form

Figure 37-16 Historical Payroll Register screen

Description of Figure 37-16 follows
Description of ''Figure 37-16 Historical Payroll Register screen''

  1. Complete the following field:

    • Historical Register Version

    Figure 37-17 Historical Payroll Register (Version) screen

    Description of Figure 37-17 follows
    Description of ''Figure 37-17 Historical Payroll Register (Version) screen''

  2. On the second Historical Payroll Register form, complete the following fields:

    • Check Date From

    • Check Date Through

    • Type of Summarization

    • Print Taxable Wages

    • Report Only

  3. To specify additional selection criteria for the report, choose the Additional Selection option.

  4. Choose the Submit Job function.

Field Explanation
Date - Pay Period Ending 1 This is the beginning Check Date for this report.
Date - Pay Period Ending 2 This is the ending Check Date for this report.
Type of Summarization A user defined code (07/SU) that specifies how the system summarized the records into the respective file or files.
Print Taxable Wages Enter a Y to print taxable wage information on the report. Current and year-to-date taxable wages will appear to the right of current and year-to- date deductions.

Note: The register is 132 characters wide WITHOUT the taxable wages. In order to print taxable wages, you must have a printer that will allow up to 160 characters per line. In addition, you must specify 160 as the Maximum Form Width in the Printer File Overrides for your version of the report (DREAM Writer Form ID = P06346). To do this, take option 6 (Prt Ovr) from the DREAM Writer versions list for your version of Form P06346.

Canadian DREAM Writer Form ID = P07346

Print Only Flag Enter N (No) if you want to create the workfile and run the report. Enter Y (Yes) if the workfile is built and you wish to rerun the report.

When you enter N, the system performs the following functions:

Stage 1

Builds employee history information to permanent workfiles F06345 and F063451 (F07345 and F073451 if Canadian). Uses the selection criteria from pre-processing parameters and Historical Payroll Register (P06345)

Stage 2

Prints the register from information in the workfiles. Uses the sequence criteria from Historical Payroll Register (P06345).


37.10.2 What You Should Know About

Topic Description
Deleting workfiles The workfiles for the Historical Payroll Register can be very large and require a lot of disk space. JD Edwards World recommends that you promptly delete any obsolete versions.
Submitting versions You cannot submit the Historical Payroll Register report from the version list. You must use the Historical Payroll Register form.
Specifying date ranges You cannot specify a date range that includes more than one year. The date range you specify must be within the same calendar year. For example, you can not print a report to include the period 10/17 through 10/19.

37.11 Reviewing the Report of Available Leave

From Payroll Master (G07), choose History Reports

From History Inquiries (G0715), choose YTD Balances - Leave with Dock Pay

Some companies deduct, or dock, an employee's pay when the employee takes leave in excess of what has been earned to date. For example, your company might dock pay when an employee uses 30 hours of sick leave, but has only earned 20 hours. On the employee's next payment, you want to deduct the employee's standard pay earned to repay the 10 hours of sick pay.

If your company docks pay, you can print a report to review the amount of leave employees have used and the amount of leave employees have available.
