Assign Reports to Delivery Packages

This section describes how to select the reports you want included in delivery packages; each report has a different set of parameters.

You can assign a report to a delivery package multiple times. For example, you can generate a Payroll Register Report for individual pay groups or in separate languages. Or, you can configure multiple Payroll Summary reports that are generated at different frequencies.

To assign reports to a delivery package:

  1. Go to Payroll Setup > Report Output.
  2. In the Delivery Packages tab, click the delivery package you want to assign report to.
  3. In the Reports section at the bottom of the tab, click Add.
  4. In the Report drop-down list, select the type of report to include.
  5. In the Frequency drop-down list, select how often the report is generated. For example, to configure the application to generate the report once a month, you can select Last Pay of Month.
  6. The frequency that you select only defines when the report is run and included in the delivery package, it does not impact what payroll data is included within the report. Typically, reports are for the pay period of a particular pay run so running a report on the last pay of the month does not mean the report is run for the entire month. Instead, the report is run on the last pay of the month and includes details from that pay run's pay period and any month, quarter, or year-to-date totals (if any) in the report.
  7. For example, the Payroll Summary Report, run on the last pay of the month, summarizes payroll for the last pay period and includes the earnings and deductions applied in the last pay run's pay period. It does not include all of the earnings and deductions applied in all of the pay runs for that month.
  8. In the Copies drop-down list, select the number of report copies to generate. Online Only is selected by default. The application only generates a PDF version of the report that isn’t sent to the printer.
  9. In the Print Options drop-down list, select one of the following options:
    • Duplex: (Default) Print the reports on both sides of the page.
    • Simplex: Print the reports on one side of the page.
  10. (Optional) Enter an alternate title for the report in the Alternate Titles field.
  11. In the expanded report, add the report parameters and sort parameters by selecting appropriate values from the displayed fields in each sub-tab: Parameters, Group By, and Sort By. These are specific to each report and described below.
  12. Click Save.
