How do I run Checkout? (Each Pay Period)
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.
This webinar (starting at 9m42s) will show you how to fix the most common errors that you'll find in the Checkout error report.

-

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.
