Take a look at the other Payroll Reports that you can use here.
​
It is sometimes the case that discrepancies occur between an FS5 and the Payroll that was issued. This usually occurs when changes are made to calculations in a Payroll which has already had an issued FS5.

These can be detected through the Payroll Report. Note that this report can only be issued for finalised payrolls, which have a generated FS5.

  1. Go to Payroll & Leave > Reporting > Payroll.
    ​

  2. Select the rolls you'd like to issue the report for by using the checkboxes on the left of the grid.

  3. From the sidebar on the right, select Monthly Gross Totals as the Report Type. An option 'Show differences only' will show up under Custom Analysis Fields, which will display only the differences between the FS5s and the Rolls in the subsequent report when checked. Data in the report can be summarised using grouping levels and sort orders, as per a normal report.

  4. Click Generate. A new notification will show in the Notifications πŸ”” menu saying the report 'has started. You will be notified once it is complete.'

  5. When it's ready, a new notification will read that the report 'has completed. Open this here.'. Click on the hyperlink 'here' to open the report in a new tab.
    ​

Differences between the Payrolls and the FS5s will be displayed in the highlighted rows. Each employee in the payroll will have two rows, one with details from the payroll, and the other with details from the FS5. Each column corresponds to fields from both the FS5 and the Payroll.

If you want Indigo to remember the settings for this report for future uses, check the Remember generated report settings at the bottom of the report setup panel.
