Re: PAYG payment summary
I agree with your approach regarding reconciliations, Shaz. Perhaps i go a bit overboard, but my reconciliations are between payroll and the general ledger, then against STP records and finally against the Annual Payment Summaries. It is only then that I submit my final year STP file.

Re: Q drive madness
There is a simpler way
1 create report in reckon
2 email report (in excel) to whoever is going to work on the report
My experience is that this works well for most reports - not 100% as once in a blue moon the exported file displays a value rather than a formula (but on the odd instance this occurs - it is highlighted)
PS Also, using this method means that you do not have to save the report in the Q Drive

Re: Missing paycheque items and YTD
No, but it will help the file! Data can get a bit fragmented, have broken links/connections & corruptions behind the scenes so Verifying should be done on a regular basis to help check for & manage this. The system will identify & advise if during the Verify process any errors are detected & will prompt you to Rebuild the file to fix them. Rebuilding the file often fixes the above that you may not be able to see at User level.
NOTE: If you take Backups, you should always Verify the file FIRST because if you ever need to restore a backup & that backup is corrupted, it won't restore!
The system always prompts you to take a Backup before it performs the Rebuild 😊
