UPPXF – Payrun Tax Interface Processing#
Set Up#
IMLN – Lexicons#
The following lexicons are provided by the system and used for the UPPXF Payrun Tax Interface.IMLN - X_INTERFACE_TYPE
The following value from X_INTERFACE_TYPE must be used for IDIF screen Interface Type field:
32 – Payrun Tax Interface
IMLN - X_INTERFACE_UPPXF

IDIF – Define Interface Format – Comma Delimited format#
- The system provides SEED_IDIF_HL-PPX-US-FED.sql script to load in example of a Comma Delimited format interface file
- The user should use Copy Definition to copy into a different Interface Code and then enter their own company data
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| Code | - user defined Interface Code - if IDIF layout is supplied by the system, the Interface Code begins with HL$ |
| Interface Type | - must be 32 – Payrun Tax Interface |
| File Format | - specifies one of the File Formats from look up list Note: XML file format is not supported in UPPXF |

Payrun Tax Interface Processing#
UPPXF – Interface Level 01 – Pay Headers#
- From UPPXF Selection Criteria, user must enter one of the following parameters in order to qualify the Pay Runs to be processed, otherwise UPPXF will abort to avoid processing of all Pay Runs in the data base- From Pay Period / To Pay Period
- From Pay Issue Date / To Pay Issue Date
- Pay Run Number
- user can combine the Federal Registration Numbers to report at State level or to obtain Grand totals of the entire run
- UPPXF always generates a Report OUTPUT file in txt format, user can optionally print the Government Totals on the Windward report for reference, however this may take some performance time to print on Windward report
- UPPXF reads IPCU PC Usages and internally categorize all US PC Usages by Work / Res levels. Then UPPXF categorizes each Pay Header’s taxation pay component by these US PC Usages in order to report at the Federal / State / County / City / School District level
- For Interface Level ‘01 – Pay Headers’, the Pay Header and its associated Pay Amounts will be processed - each Pay Header’s information will be loaded, e.g. Pay Header assignment, assignment’s department, cost centers, position, job, authorization, organization level of department etc
- if IDIF Variable field specifies to use an Element (pph value), then the Element code should be specified in the IDIF Constant Value field and UPPXF calls the Element function for this Element to obtain the element amount
- then IDIF Record Type ‘Detail Record 1’ information for this Pay Header will be processed
- at the end of an Employee, the IDIF Record Type ‘Employee Summary’ will be processed
- after UPPXF is run, user should verify from the Interface Directory both the Report txt file and the Interface File layout
- if UPPXF is run in Trace mode, then a trace file will be generated in Interface Directory and then remove the Execution Run logs so that the Windward report will not print all the trace to save performance time
- user can verify UPPXF txt report and the Interface File with RPREGT or RPYPEU for balancing purpose
- IDIF Format Code ‘HL-PPX-US-FED’ is supplied as an example to retrieve Federal level W2 information, user should copy this Form Code and then enter your own W2 Elements on IDIF prior to running UPPXF; user can also customize the IDIF Format Code to report different Elements to suit their needs
- however user can run UPPXF to generate the Output Report txt file without using the IDIF Format Code ‘HL-PPX-US-FED’ to generate the Interface file
UPPXF Sample Report#
UPPXF – Sample Report – Print Report On File only #
- The OUTPUT Report txt file and Interface File information are displayed at the end of UPPXFUPPXF – Sample Report – Print Report On Report and File #
- The OUTPUT Report txt file and Interface File information are displayed at the end of UPPXF - The Government Registration Totals for Federal / State / County / City / School District information are printed on Windward report as well as the Output Report txt fileUPPXF Sample Interface File#
UPPXF – Sample Report File – .txt File Format #
-The OUTPUT Report txt file are printed according to the Selection criteria of these prompts:| Employee level Print | - optional, specify how the Employee Detail information should be printed - lexicon X_UPPXF_EE_PRINT values are: 00 – Do not print by Empl 01 – Detail by Pay Header 02 – Summary by Pay Header |
| Pay Component Print | - optional, specify how the Pay Component information should be printed - lexicon X_UPPXF_PC_PRINT values are: 00 – Default (Taxation PC only) 01 – All Pay Components 02 – Taxation Pay Components - if ‘01 – All Pay Components’ is specified, then all pay components will be printed including the non-taxation pay components. UPPXF report can be used to balance all amounts to RPREGT - if ‘02 – Taxation Pay Components’ is specified, then IPCU pc usages are used to retrieve those pay components that are for US Taxations. UPPXF will only print these US taxation pay components. UPPXF report can be used to balance to RPREGT and RPYEU |
- The Government Registration Totals for Federal / State / County / City / School District information are always printed on the Output Report txt file
