Understanding ADP Integration

Many companies hire outside consultants and service agencies to perform administrative activities. This strategy enables managers to concentrate on critical business functions and core competencies. The processing of payroll and related items is an administrative activity that companies often outsource. Some companies outsource all payroll processing, while others outsource only certain functions, such as tax preparation and filing. The largest provider of payroll outsourcing in North America is Automatic Data Processing (ADP).

ADP Integration enables you to outsource specified payroll functions to ADP. You can integrate the data that you create in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll with ADP. This combination enables you to process payroll using JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and have ADP report the associated payroll tax information to federal, state, and local taxing authorities.

ADP Tax Filing Service Standalone uses a flat file that contains JD Edwards EnterpriseOne payroll tax detail and summary information to process and file payroll taxes.

Note:

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ADP interface file is based on specifications from ADP Systems Interface Guide Tax GSI Format. When ADP publishes a new version of their interface guide, JD Edwards reviews any changes and determines whether to incorporate any changes into the existing interface. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne interface file to ADP is intended as a starting interface for customers to use to build their own integration for ADP tax filing services. JD Edwards does not certify this interface directly with ADP.

While JD Edwards provides a file format and processes for creating payroll tax history output, JD Edwards does not guarantee compatibility between JD Edwards Payroll tax data and ADPs tax service. JD Edwards customers should work closely with ADP during implementation of the ADP Tax Filing Service to understand ADP specifications and compatibility prior to going live on the ADP Tax Filing Service. JD Edwards customers are responsible for testing the EnterpriseOne file output with ADP, certifying their interface process with ADP, and reconciling file output data sent to ADP back to EnterpriseOne payroll tax history. Changes that affect payroll operations such as implementing JD Edwards in additional facilities or operating in new jurisdictions require similar testing and validation between ADP and the customer.

Given the large number of federal, state and local tax jurisdictions, and the changing nature of tax regulations, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ADP interface file format may not support certain tax reporting requirements. The JD Edwards ADP interface process does not necessarily support all tax filing functionality available in the ADP Tax Filing Service. Furthermore, JD Edwards does not provide any support for taxes that are not calculated and stored in JD Edwards tax history tables.
