Creating the Periodic Flat File

Access the Work With Pay Cycle Workbench form.

To create the periodic flat file:

1. Select the payroll ID for which you want to create the Periodic flat file, and then select ADP Files, and then Periodic File from the Row menu.

   Note: This menu option is disabled if you do not set the processing option for the Payroll Workbench to indicate that you are using ADP Integration. The option is enabled only after pre-payroll has been run. You must create the Periodic flat file before you run the final update step of the payroll cycle.

   When you have successfully created the Periodic flat file, a 1 appears in the ADP Tax Status field. A 1 must appear in this field before you can run final update.

2. To bypass the process of creating the Periodic flat file, select Payroll Parameters from the Row menu, and enter a 1 in the ADP Tax Service Status field.
