How is year end information overridden?

The Payroll system drives the Payroll Year End process. Use the employee record to manually enter information only if you do not use the Payroll application to enter the information. Any W-2 related information you enter using the Payroll application automatically overrides information entered manually on the employee record.

Example

If Sue Johnson accrues business expenses that need reporting on her W-2 form, you can enter the specific amount in the Business Expense field on the Year End tab on the employee record. If you use define a Business Expense Pay Class on the W-2 parameters, any amounts you entered on the employee record is overridden when you create W-2 forms or magnetic media.
