After you have committed the final pay run for a quarter, you can generate the Quarter End File. The quarter end file needs to be generated on the last day of the quarter by running the CTS Quarterly Filing (US Only) background job in System Admin > Background Jobs.
Before You Begin: A description of the parameters in the CTS Quarterly Filing (US Only) background job is available in the topic "CTS Quarterly Filing (US Only)" in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.
To generate the quarter end file:
- Go to System Admin > Background Jobs.
- Click the CTS Quarterly Filing (US Only) background job.
- Click Run.
- Set the necessary parameters for the background job.
- Click Run.
The application generates the quarter end file and transmits it to DTS. At this point, payroll administrators cannot make off-cycle, prior period adjustments against pay periods in the quarter without making prior quarter adjustments.
