If the Detailed Payroll Observation Report (PAYB300det) does not display the correct year to date values, due to the report doubles the value from the current period column and adds it to the value from the year-to-date column. This issue arises from the process and timing of the payroll updates.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that you run the report after completing the Run Payroll Update job (PAY300) and before running the Complete Update job (PAY355).
2. Be aware that if the complete update period has already been processed, the report will include that period's totals twice.
3. The report calculates year to date totals by summing all totals from the beginning of the year up to the completed update period for the pay group.
4. It then adds the current period totals to this figure, resulting in the total year-to-date values for the year.
