How do I run Checkout? (Each Pay Period)

Checkout

Use Checkout to search the Payroll database for entry errors and calculation errors. Running Checkout will print a list of errors found in the database on the error report. Use the error report to fix the errors.

Step 1: Run Checkout

1. Open Connect Payroll > Organization > Checkout.

2. Select the options on the routine.

3. Click GO (CTRL+G).

The routine runs. It may take a few minutes depending on how many options you have selected.

Step 2: Review the error report

Use the instructions on the error report to fix the errors in the database. Some of the errors can be fixed by running Recalculate. The rest of the errors will need you to do some troubleshooting to identify and fix the error.

Error report codes

No errors found. None of the selected items were found in the database.
Errors found. Check printout carefully. There's an issue in the database that requires troubleshooting to fix it. [More]
Run Recalculate. There's an issue in the database that can be fixed by recalculating. [More]

Step 3: Rerun the Checkout report

When you're done fixing the errors listed on the Checkout report, rerun the Checkout report to make sure all of the errors have been resolved. When the Checkout report shows that the database is error free, then you're done.
