Payroll Validation Archive Report for the UK
Payroll managers can run the Payroll Validation Archive Report before calculating payroll. The standard payroll cycle flow includes this report. You can also run it as a standalone process in the Payroll Calculation work area.
This report displays a summary of all errors and warnings that may be generated for each person when you run the next payroll. To ensure a successful payroll run, correct all errors listed in the report. You should also review all warning messages and make the necessary corrections; however, warnings don't prevent the payroll run from completing successfully.
Report Parameters
You must specify the payroll name and the effective date of the payroll run to be validated.
