Generate Electronic Interfaces

The electronic interfaces are files that contain employee information and balances and are in the XML format. Use the Run End-of-Year Reports task from the Regulatory and Tax Reporting area under Payroll on the Home page to generate the files.

These files are generated by the employer and submitted to the government. It has the same information provided to the employees in their year-end slips. You can generate the electronic interface files for the original, amended, or canceled report types.

Locking

When you generate the electronic interface files, the end-of-year archive is locked. You can't generate the interface files multiple times. You must first perform a rollback process of the file generation process, then you can rerun the process.

The XML process also creates a lock on the records, and therefore, generate the slips prior to the interface files.
