Run Payroll Reports in Prior Periods

You can run reports, review W-2 data, or reprint posting logs for a prior accounting period's payroll processing run. To do this, you enter a prior accounting period and run reports or review data as usual, reporting on data that was current during that period.

Prerequisites: You can process payroll in a prior period if the Allow processing in Closed Period option is selected for your role on the Accounting tab of the Roles form in Settings.

To produce reports for data in a previous period:

1. Select the period in either of these ways:
   • Select the prior period when you first log on.
   • Click Utilities > Change Period to open the Period Selection dialog box and select a period.
2. Click Reporting > Payroll and run a payroll report, such as the Employee Payroll List or State Unemployment Insurance Worksheet.

You can also run posting logs for the selected prior period. Click Transaction Center > Posting Logs and select Payroll or Payroll Journal in the Transaction Type field.
