You said I am trying to add a pay run audit report to a report pack. I want to add the current period but it is not available to select. How do I add the report?

I am going to add the report pack to an automated pay run and I want to send the pay run audit report as part of that process. How do I do that?
Best answer by Charies_M

Thank you for your reply.

Let me ask the question in a different way.

Can I add a 'payroll audit report' to a 'report pack' that is sent as part of the 'automated pay run' process?

The 'payroll audit report' period will not exist until the 'automated pay run' is run so I cannot append the report period when I set up the 'report pack'. 

Other reports in the 'report pack' set up allow me to select 'current period' but the 'payroll audit report' does not. Does this mean you can only select a 'payroll audit report' from a completed pay cycle to add to a 'report pack'? If so, this makes the automation of the pay cycle unusable as the infomation in the 'payroll audit report' is not completely available in other reports.

My overall objective is to produce a 'net pay' report as part of the 'automated pay run' process by adding it to a 'report pack' so I know how much to pay each employee.

Many thanks


I'm here to answer your follow-up question, JDCambridge.

 

The option to add a payroll audit report is attached to the automated pay run process. Also, QuickBooks Online (QBO) will only generate a report after completing the payroll run.

 

QBO is constantly changing and evolving based largely on the suggestions and requests of users like yourself. For now, I want you to get in the loop about the latest news and product developments in QuickBooks. That said, I encourage you to visit our Firm of the future site. To narrow down your search, you can go to the Product & Industry News tab.

 

To know more about the Payroll reports that you can run in QuickBooks, see the below articles:

Hello and welcome to the Community, @JDCambridge. 

 

I can share some information about generating the report that you want.

 

Can you tell me more about the report that you're referring to? That'll help me provide an accurate solution to the concern you're having. 

 

Additionally, if you could send over a screenshot that would be helpful for me to take a closer look.

 

Also, to further guide you in getting insight into your business performance using QBO, I'd recommend checking out this article: Reports Help Articles. It includes info about creating and running stock reports, balance sheets, and profit and loss to manage your business.

 

I'm all ears if you have other reporting concerns in QBO. You can drop a comment below, and I'll gladly help.

Hi There

Please take a look at the screen shot. I am setting up a report pack and I would like a Pay Run Audit Report as part of the pack. As you can see from the screen shot it is asking me for 'pay run' and I am unable to select one. I would like to select current period as the report pack will be sent as part of the automated payroll process.

My ultimate objective is to send a report showing the payments to employees that are required once the automated pay run has completed.

 

Thanks

 

Judith

Hello there, @JDCambridge. Thanks for getting back to us.

I know how important to generate a report that includes the payments of the employee. Please be informed that your screenshot wasn't included in your previous replies. Still, you can attach a screenshot and make sure to cover all the important details.

If you're referring to the Pay run field being empty and there are no options to select, make sure to choose the pay schedule correctly. Then, ensure to have an existing pay run to generate them in the field.

 

I've also added these references that have detailed information in viewing payroll reports:

 

 

Please let me know how it works. You can always go back to this thread if you have additional questions, JDCambridge.
