Enhanced Payroll Costing Report

The Payroll Costing Report now offers an extract-based version instead of the legacy BI Publisher report. The new extract-based version, Payroll Costing Results Report, delivers better scalability and higher performance for large payroll volumes, along with flexible output options including MS Excel, Text, and XML.

If you are still using the legacy version and have started experiencing performance issues as your data volumes grow, it's recommended you use the new version of the report. You can use the Switch Task Version flow to enable the extract-based report.

For more details refer to the Payroll Costing Report in the What reports are available for payroll reporting and analytics? playbook on OHC.

Use the enhanced Payroll Costing Report task to run the Payroll Costing Report as an extract-based report instead of using the legacy BI Publisher report. This extract-based report provides better scalability, higher performance, and flexible output options.
