Payroll Reports with PII Data

    How does one write a custom payroll report that uses PII Data?

    This KB does not seem to work?

    When you ran the report manager, did respond "Yes" to the question "Do you want to include a PII worktable with this custom report?" Did it automatically link the PR_EmployeePIIWrk table into your report? Did you replace the empty PR_Employee PII fields in your report with the PR_EmployeePIIWrk equivalents?

    You won't be able to refresh the report in the full version of Crystal - only when you run it from the Custom Reports menu. I have a tool that I'll give you to test custom reports directly in the full version of Crystal if you want to shoot me an email.

    Did even realize a KB existed.....    Pretty much as Dan outlines.  Question is do you add the PII table to your report first or write the report using the PR.Employee table first, then add the report to the menu (which adds the PII table) and then go back replace the PR.employee fields with the PII fields.  I've done it both ways. 

    I can't say enough about Dan's enhancement.  It is such a great tool that I include it with practically all of my PR 2.x upgrades.  Any company that does ad hoc PR reporting via Access or Excel HAS to have it.

    I'm just piling on and endorsing Dan's product. I installed it for a customer and it drastically sped up their sales history reports.

    I created a Custom report with just PR_EmployeeHistoryHeader, then used Report Manager to add report to menu - checking the box to add the PII work table.

    Opened the report in crystal - no work table had been added.

    Launched the report from the custom reports menu, let it update to current version, re-opened the report in crystal - still no PII work table.

    Tried creating a report with only PR_Employee to the report and repeated the same steps - still no work table

    Tried manually adding the PII work table in crystal, now when running the report get an index error (didn't capture the message text).

    Threw hands in air, went to bed - sheesh!

    @Dan Burleson I would be interested in your utility.
    @Jeff Schwenk what are the steps to get it to work? I could not get it to work either way!?​​

    I was about to offer assistance also. That method has always worked for me, and I do this a lot.

    @Jeff Schwenk​​ is confusing my ODBC Assistance tool with a program that I sell, but do not advertise here on 90 Minds. You can learn about the ODBC tool for use with designing Crystal based forms and Custom Report menu reports that I am offering to 90Minds folks for free here  (skip to 1:30 to the part about assisting with work files) If you would still like to use it email me privately so as not to clutter Greg's post.

    @Dan Burleson, would either of those tools work with using Sage Intelligence with the PII Work File? ​

    @Jeff Schwenk & @Karen O'Lane at what point does the work table get added to the custom report? ​​Do you need to have PR_Employee already in the report before importing with Report Manager?

    Glad we got it to work for you.  Good chatting with you.  Perhaps we'll meet up in Orlando or at next year's MOTM conference.
