Payroll April 2022

Closed Payroll Register report

A new Closed Payroll Register report is now available at Payroll Administrator > Reports > Closed Payroll Register to report payments and totals for closed payroll payments. This report uses columnar database functionality that improves reporting performance and supports aggregating data using additional methods. Payroll administrators can now generate totals by new options other than by payment schedule.

The Closed Payroll Register report includes a Payments tab that reflects each closed employee payment with sub-totals using columnar data. The Payment Totals tab displays only totals from closed payments using columnar data.

This feature depends on the previously delivered columnar replication sets = COL_GHR_ST and COL_PAYROLL_ST.

Refer to KB article #2129639 for information about delivered replication sets.

The use of delivered columnar replication sets for payroll must be enabled by navigating to Payroll Administrator > Setup > Payroll Configuration and selecting the Use Delivered Columnar Replication Sets check box.

After the COL_PAYROLL_ST replication set is enabled, it is replicated automatically during the Close Payroll and Close Off Cycle Payroll actions when they are run with the Finalize and Close option selected and payments transition from Create status to Closed status.

Total ACH Records field for payment direct deposits

Users can now navigate to Payroll Administrator > Cycle Processing > Print Payment Files and use the new Total ACH Records field column on the Payment Direct Deposits tab. This new field contains the count of the number of ACH items within the file. Each distribution for an employee within the file is counted as one record.

Ability to specify 20 characters for the Company Discretionary Data field

Bank account records have been enhanced so that users can specify a 20 alpha character value for the Company Discretionary Data field located in a bank account record at Payroll Administrator > Setup > Bank Setup. The value that is specified is displayed in the ACH file that is generated by the Print Payments action, in position 21 - 40 in the record 5 batch header. Payroll administrators can use this field to send information as required by their bank. There is no change to existing users; if you do not specify information in the new field on a Bank Account, then the ACH file continues to display blank values in position 21 - 40.

Additional pay wage fields sent to FSM

These fields are sent only for expense accrual records when the Post Payroll Interface Option field on the Finance tab of a payroll configuration located at Payroll Administrator > Setup > Payroll Configuration is set to summarized, detailed, or summarized accruals; detailed expenses.

These fields are already available in payroll distributions after the Payroll Close action is run before running the Post Payroll action.

TaxFactory 11 new remuneration codes

TaxFactory 11, Regulatory Bulletin 68, includes the new remuneration codes P069 and P070 (New York Secure Choice Savings Program). The delivered content has been updated to include the new remuneration codes.

To update payroll delivered content, navigate to Payroll Administrator > Setup > Payroll Delivered Content and run the Load action for the description "Payroll".

If the new remuneration code was added manually before the deployment of the CU, then the delivered content update skips loading any record that already exists.
