Summary Record Totals

Under specific circumstances, the system can miscount the summary records for T4, T4A, and NR4 magnetic media. If all of the employees in a company or in a tax area have zero-dollar amounts, the system does not create a summary record for that company or tax area. However, the system calculates the number of summary records based on the number of companies or tax areas before determining whether they have zero-dollar amounts. Therefore, the summary count is incorrect in this situation.

You can correct the summary record count in the XML file by changing the number within the {summ_cnt} begin tag and the {/summ_cnt} end tag. The number that you enter between these tags should equal the number of {T4Summary}, {T4ASummary}, or {NR4Summary} tags within the XML file.
