You can create custom templates for payroll with Microsoft SQL Server® Reporting Services report writing tools. Contact the
Vantagepoint Custom Programming Group or Support for more information.
If you add custom check templates for payroll, then their actual file names display in the
Check Template drop-down list on the Checks tab in
.
To have
Vantagepoint recognize that these names are check templates for inclusion in the drop-down list:
-
Store check template files in the
Vantagepoint \Reports\Custom\Check folder.
The Check folder does not have to be directly under the Custom folder. You can have other folders between the Custom and the Check folders (for example: \Reports\Custom\<XXXXX>\Check).
-
Use the following naming convention for the check template file:
- CheckPY_UniqueName_Custom.rdl
- EarningsHourly_Three.rdl
-
Because a check template utilizes multiple sub-reports, when you create and copy a custom check report into the
Vantagepoint \Reports\Custom\Check folder, you must also copy the following sub-report files into the same Check folder:
- EarningsHourly_Three.rdl
- EarningsHourly_Two.rdl
- WithholdingDetails_Three.rdl
- WithholdingDetails_Two.rdl
- DirectDepositDetails_Three.rdl
- DirectDepositDetails_Two.rdl
- BenefitDetails_Three.rdl
- BenefitDetails_Two.rdl
You can modify these sub-reports if necessary, but you must
not rename them. When the custom template is used to print a payroll check, the system looks for these sub-reports in the Check folder.
-
To load the main custom check report and its sub-reports to the report server, click
and complete the required information on the Load Reports tab.
Be sure to select
Custom in the
Type field.
The Loaded Reports grid shows only the main custom report because the grid is set to hide the sub-reports.
