Sage 100

PR 2.0 what am I missing? I thought one of the selling points in PR2.0 is you were supposed to be able to process payroll in a future period without having closed the current period. Trying to run a July payroll and it won't calculate.

I wonder if it is a quarter end thing?

Are you receiving a message? Perhaps ""The information needed to calculate taxes for the current check date is not available."" Receive this when I run in ABC company for check date July 2020., when in 2nd quarter. Did receive warning that the check is not in the current quarter, which has always existed. Ran another test for July 2018 and received the same message that the tax schedules are not ready for these dates.

I, too, am guessing that although Sage has the ""ability"" to run future Payrolls, the on-line tax service does not, simply because of all of the State Tax changes that could happen in July, (since there have been so many State Tax Table changes this year). The State of Oregon has a new statewide mandatory tax that kicks in July 1st, and I suspect things like that are preventing the online tax server from processing a payroll in the new quarter. So yes - technically Sage might have the ability to process a future payroll, most likely the online tax service does not...

The tax calculation engine doesn't process a future date. Even if you advance the current period in Payroll and use a July accounting date, the engine won't calculate payroll. So it appears the program allows you to process in the next period without having closed the prior period as long as the calendar date is in the next quarter.

@alanniergarth I think I made a solution for using today's tax calculation for a future period. The following worked for my test company, though please ignore anything that sounds off I'm not very knowledgeable with the PR module but this did give us taxes on ABC. 1) first enter the payroll for the current period, with automatic tax calculation 2) run the tax calculation 3) change the check date, Accept the errors 4) change the Automatic Deductions & Manual Tax Calculation on each check to N & Y respectively (you can't do it on the pay cycle screen because the checks are already created) A) I created a sweet little VI import job that reads the PR_Payrollheader and updates those fields with just one import. Frankly I had no idea you could do that. 5) run Tax calculation & print checks normally.
