Understanding Payroll History Integrity

After you process a payroll, you should verify the integrity of the payroll history. You use this history for:

• Government reports

• Year-end forms

• Internal reporting purposes

To verify the integrity of the payroll history, you run integrity reports to identify these types of information:

• Discrepancies within the summary history tables.

• Discrepancies between the summary history tables and their corresponding detail tables.

• Information in the summary tables that is missing, inaccurate, or incomplete.

You should run payroll history integrity reports monthly, quarterly, and before you begin year-end processing. You should review each error that appears on the integrity reports to determine what action, if any, you must take to correct it. Depending on the error, you must correct payroll history either by revising the appropriate payroll information or by making changes to the payroll history tables. The system can correct other errors automatically when you run integrity reports in update mode. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system includes error code tables that can help you research integrity errors.
