Understanding Tax Ledger Repost

After you make revisions to the employee history, the information in the Pay Check History Tax Ledger - Canadian DB table (F0716) might not match the corresponding information in the Tax History table (F0713). To update the F0713 table with the information from the F0716 table, you can run the Tax Ledger Repost program (P77713).

Note: This task is optional for year-end processing.

If an employee changed tax IDs or province of employment during the year, and changes have been entered in the F0716 table, the Tax Ledger Repost program creates tax summary records for each tax ID or province.

When you run the Tax Ledger Repost, the system creates a backup copy of the F0713 table before it reposts any information. This backup copy is named F0713SAV.

The repost programs do not produce reports.

Important:

Depending on the size of the history tables, the repost programs can take from a few minutes to several hours. Oracle recommends that you run these programs during off-peak hours. Also, you must not run any other payroll functions while the system is processing these programs.

If you manually enter changes in the F0713 table without also changing the corresponding record in the F0716 table, the Tax Ledger Repost program overwrites the changes.

If you run the Tax Ledger Repost program more than once, the system overwrites the F0713SAV table each time you repost. If you are going to run the repost multiple times, back up the F0713SAV table after the first repost to a disk or another location to save the original data.

Caution: Because the Tax Ledger Repost program completely re-creates the Tax History table, you should not change the data selection directly in the Tax Ledger Repost program. Doing so will delete records from the F0713 table.
