New Query and View in SL2011

I have a request from a new client coming from QuickBooks. They would like to mimic a "merged" payroll check report that basically allowed them to review in an excel format the gross wages, all deductions in individual columns, and taxes in individual columns, and the net check. The company has employees paid on a day rate and the company carries arrearages for various health, dental, etc. plans and basically does want to over deduct the arrearages and not provide the employee enough net pay.

The logical place for this would be in Quick Query (they are on SL2011) and I have no issue creating a view. How can I create the view across the PRTRAN and the PRCHECKTRAN tables and then drop all HEALTH deductions in one column, all FED1 in one column, etc.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Dave

Carolyn,

You indicated that all the data is in PRTRAN but I need not only the "paid" checks but the calculated and not printed or paid. I don't think this detail data reaches the PRTRAN table until the "Keep" is completed. Am I wrong?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi David,

I'm thinking you don't need PRchecktran as everything you need would be in PRtran. So you wouldn't need to join the two tables. Then create your view to display the deductions in separate columns. You could look at a few views in your SL database to get some ideas.

I wasn't clear as to whether you were trying to display this as one huge check or display all the checks and then sum them in the Excel worksheet. Or are you wanting to sum all federal deductions (Fed1, Fed2, etc) into one column per employee?
