Understanding KiwiSaver Setup

Before you can process KiwiSaver information, you must prepare your system to calculate, store, and report KiwiSaver data. You use deductions and benefits (DBAs) to calculate the employee and employer contributions that are made to the plan on each employee's behalf. Using UDC table 75/KS, you specify which DBA codes you use to calculate each portion of the contribution.

When you process prepayroll, the system uses the DBAs to calculate the contribution amounts. During the final update step of the payroll cycle, the system uses the values in UDC 75/KS, along with the DBA amounts that were calculated during prepayroll, to determine what values to update in the New Zealand Tax Ledger Detail table (F75Z0002). The employer contribution is stored in field Z2KCON, and the employee contribution is stored in field Z2KDED.

Important: In an update to the 8.12 release, the F75Z0002 table was modified to store KiwiSaver information. Two fields, Z2KCON and Z2KDED, were added to this table to store the contribution amounts that are calculated during each payroll cycle. If you are running a release earlier than 9.0, before you can store KiwiSaver information in this table, you must run the Convert F75Z0002 for KiwiSaver table conversion program (R8975Z0002) to add these two new fields to the table. If you process KiwiSaver information through a payroll cycle before you process the table conversion, the system does not store KiwiSaver information F75Z0002.
