Verifying the payroll archive

To verify the payroll archive:

1. Open Sage 100 Contractor, selecting the company for which you want to archive Payroll. Then:

   1. Open 5-2-2 Payroll Records, click File > Count, and then note the total number of records.

   2. Open 4-2 Accounts Payable Invoices, click File > Count, and note the total number of records.

   3. Exit Sage 100 Contractor.

2. Start Database Administration for Sage 100 Contractor.

   Note: You need administrator access to use Database Administration.

3. Use the Archive Oldest Payroll Year tab to close the payroll year.

4. Start Sage 100 Contractor, and then select the archive you just created.

5. Open 5-2-2 Payroll Records, click File > Count, and then note the total number of records.

6. Open 4-2 Accounts Payable Invoices, click File > Count, and then note the total number of records.

7. Compare the record totals taken before archiving from each of the three databases before archiving to those taken from the archive. When the totals agree, the records have been archived correctly. If you find that the archive is incomplete, restore a backup and create a new archive.
