What's new in Sage 100 Payroll

This article describes the enhancements made in Sage 100 Payroll version 2.22 and subsequent updates. For a list of program fixes, see the release notes.

Sage 100 Payroll 2.22.2

The following changes were made in version 2.22.2.

Create A/P Invoices for Payroll Deductions and Taxes

In Payroll Option you can integrate the Payroll module with Accounts Payable. When the modules are integrated, you can set up deductions and payroll taxes so that Accounts Payable invoices are created for them when you update the Payroll Check Register. This makes it easy to create checks to pay the deductions and taxes.

Deduction Code Maintenance

When the (Integrate with) Accounts Payable check box is selected in Payroll Options, an A/P Invoice button appears on the screen. To create Accounts Payable invoices for the deduction, click this button and enter a vendor number. Options for grouping deductions and separate invoice lines for each employee are also available. For more information, see Set Up Deductions to Create A/P Invoices in the help.

Company Tax Group Setup

When the (Integrate with) Accounts Payable check box is selected in Payroll Options, the following fields appear on both the Main and Additional tabs in Company Tax Group Setup: 

  • Vendor No.

  • Vendor Name

  • Invoice Prefix

To create Accounts Payable invoices for the tax, enter a vendor number. Use the Invoice Prefix field to group taxes onto one invoice. Fore more information, see Set Up Taxes to Create A/P Invoices in the help.

Sage 100 Payroll 2.22

The following changes were made in version 2.22.

Pay Cycle Option

A new check box, Allow employees with other pay cycles for bonus and commissions, has been added to the Pay Cycle window.

Select this check box when you're processing a pay run that falls outside of employees' regular pay cycle assigned in Employee Maintenance. For example, select the check box if employees are typically paid weekly, but you're paying out a monthly bonus.

Additional Tax Amount Fields

Three fields on the Employee Maintenance Taxes tab have been renamed:

  • The Tax Calc Override field has been renamed Additional Tax.
  • The Override Amt field has been renamed Additional Amt.
  • The Override % field has been renamed Additional %.

The fields have also been renamed in the Employee Tax Info window accessed through Payroll Data Entry.

No changes are required if you are using these fields.

Field for Annual Withholding Allowance

In Employee Maintenance, an Annual WH Allowance field has been added to the Taxes tab for use with the new 2022 Colorado Employee Withholding Certificate (DR 0004). The field is available only for the Colorado tax group. It has also been added to the Employee Tax Info window accessed through Payroll Data Entry.
