Running the Legislative Reports Generator

You generate a legislative report by running the Legislative Reports Generator process from the Submit Requests window. This takes a snapshot of the benefits data so that you can perform all future processing on this snapshot of the data. When you take the snapshot, calculations are performed on the input values, and each input value is validated. The process also assigns a unique archive request ID for each listing. You must then supply this archive request ID when you subsequently submit the P30, P35, P60, and the Payslip Advice reports. You can use this generator to format payroll data for employees within a specific date range.

You can retry the Legislative Reports Generator process if you find any errors. When the archive process is running, it automatically calculates any input values for which amounts can be derived, and performs validation to identify any data that is not in a valid format.

Errors on a single assignment do not prevent the process from completing. However individual assignments that contain errors do not appear in your final report, and processing of these assignments is always halted at the first error to be detected.

Note: To run the generator successfully, make sure you enter the PRSI Context balance information in the SOE Balances and SOE Elements windows and not in the Payslip Information window at the business group level. If you enter the balance information in the Payslip Information window, the Legislative Reports Generator will not format the Balance and Elements information correctly.

Security Enabling

You can restrict the archiving of the employee details or an assignment by creating a security profile and attaching it your responsibility. The security profile reports only the assignments to which the security profile has access.

For an employee with multiple assignments, the process archives and reports the details even if the security profile has access to only one assignments to maintain consistency with employee and employer level balances in the P35 Report.

You run the Legislative Reports Generator from the Submit Request window.
