This process archives the data required to create the year-end magnetic tapes. You must ensure that the details you have set up in the extra information types or special information types store the correct information. The IRAS Line Archive process validates the information you enter in any information types and reports the errors in the log file. When you run this process, you archive data for assignments that:
Have not been included in an IR21
Do not already appear in the magnetic tape files for the same basis year and legal entity
Attention: To process A8A data in IRAS Line Archive process, select Yes in the Enable A8A Processing field of the Legal Entity window.
You run this process from the Submit Requests window.
Enter IRAS Line Archive in the Name field.
In the Parameters window, select the legal entity that you are running the process for.
Select the basis year. This is the tax year on which you are reporting.
Click Submit.
If, after error checking, you find errors in the archive, you can repeat the process in one of the following ways:
Mark the entire process for retry and overwrite the existing archive with new archived values.
Mark specific assignments for retry and overwrite those assignments with new archived values.
Run the entire process again and create a new archive. The old archive data remains in the archive tables.
You must check the control listing again to ensure that the data is now error-free.
