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. Click Utilities > Periods > Period Setup and select a period.
  2. In the Navigation pane, click My Stuff > Reporting and select the Payroll report type.

You can also run the Payroll Processing posting logs for the selected prior period. Click Transaction Center > Posting Review and select a posting entry under the Payroll in the Transaction Type field.
