Identifying PDBA History Integrity Errors

You use the Payroll Month PDBA Integrity report to identify errors in the F06146 table. This table contains the adjustment amounts that you might need to add to taxable wages or to report in other detail boxes on the year-end forms. These amounts might include retirement account contributions, moving expenses, group term life insurance premiums, and so on. Ensuring that this table remains error-free simplifies the year-end processing tasks.

You typically generate the integrity report first in proof mode to identify possible errors without changing any information in the history tables. After you have reviewed and corrected any errors that appear on the report, you generate the report in final mode, during which time the system updates the appropriate tables.

The Payroll Month PDBA Integrity report identifies these types of information:

• Errors that you must correct manually.

• Errors that the program corrects when you run the report in update mode.

  These errors usually apply to multiple records.

To generate the Payroll Month PDBA Integrity report in proof mode, set the processing mode to Proof in the processing options.
