  • 1.  Payroll 2.21

    Posted 12-22-2020 15:08

    Does anyone know if Payroll 2.21 is required to be installed prior to W2 processing?

    I realize it includes the ability to enter and process the payback of deferred SS Tax, but if customer didn't opt into that mess, there would be nothing to process.

    Thanks

    Not the expert, but I did not get the impression that it was required for W-2's.

    I posted this last week under a different thread:

    I just received clarification from Sage Development:

    1. Payroll 2.21.0 includes the changes to populate the Aatrix files. It was left out of the documentation. Install PR 2.21.0, update the Aatrix forms, and install the tax updates that will be released (I think one next week and the other the following week) and that's all that's needed for 2020 Payroll year-end.

    2. There is no 2020 IRD. It is only needed for AP anymore and there are no changes needed for AP this year. AP6001T still needs to be installed for the 1099-NEC utilities.

    Remind me again what the benefits are of the "new" payroll v2.xx.  In the "old" versions of payroll, the program was installed once and every year a PR tax table update was installed.  I have probably installed six or seven releases of v2.x in the last two years. 

    I love the update to business framework which actually filters data by the exact date (you know, like an accounting system is supposed to) instead of using "buckets".

    @Shari Eckersley, does this mean that PR2.20.3 is not sufficient for year-end processing with Aatrix?  And it was left out of the documentation?  Seriously?

    Yes, that's what I was told by Sage Development when I asked for clarification about that and about if there was a 2020 IRD last week.

    Thanks.  I just saw this in a Sage City post, as well.

    Does anyone know if you need to be on payroll 2.20.? (vs 2.19.?) before installing 2.21.0?  I accidently just installed 2.21 over 2.19 and I thought a coworker told me we had to be at 2.20.? before installing.  Wondering if I'm going to run into problems and need to restore before they start working on Monday. 

    I have a copy of the directory before installing but having problems renaming my live MAS90 directory. 
    It's been a frustrating night!
    Thanks

    I vaguely recall seeing something about being on at least v2.2 for a reporting feature to work (of course I can't find it now).  I am leaning 99.9% toward you being fine.  Regarding the renaming folder issue, I had the same problem last month with a v2019 STD upgrade.  Rebooting the server did not resolve.  I passed the issue to the IT department for resolution.
