The following steps outline the procedure to produce the W2 Forms and the Government file:
  1. RPREGT
    • RPREGT
      • For annual reporting , run RPREGT to produce YTD Register
      • For quarterly reporting, run RPREGT to produce QTD Register
  2. IDFD/IDFDV/RDFD
    • IDFD
      • Specifies the W2 Form and File Definition for Annual and Quarterly reporting
      • Contains the default values to enter on IDFDV
      • The information on this screen is provided at release time using a script. The script only needs to be executed in order to load in the most current information for the year.
    • IDFDV
      • Mandatory set up of Annual W2 Form and File Definition with user information
      • Optional set up of Quarterly Form and File Definition with user information
    • RDFD
      • Used to report the Form and File Definition from IDFD and IDFDV
  3. RPYEU
    • RPYEU
      • Produces US Year End Summary Report for the reporting Year or the reporting Quarter
      • Must be used to balance to the YTD Register or QTD Register report (RPREGT)
      • Exception messages from this Summary Report must be checked and any exceptions corrected
      • Generates the Federal Government file in federal format
      • Generates State File in the federal file format for states that accept the federal file format
      • Generates State File for states with specific State File format requirement
      • RPYEU must be run one state at a time to generate state specific file
      • Each state may have its own requirement, it must be verified if that state specific format is supported by RPYEU prior to running RPYEU for a specific state file
      • Generates an XML file to feed into Oracle version RPW2 in order to print W2 Forms
      • Generates GVT Run and stores information in IPGR, IPGH for Windward RPW2
      • In utility trace mode, RPYEU generates a .txt file for SQL Select statement and csv trace file
      • Provides an option to generate data dump file in .csv format for Federal, State, Local, School data for debugging or balancing
  4. IPGR/IPGH
    • IPGR
      • Screen inquiry by GVT Run Number after RPYEU
    • IPGH
      • Screen inquiry by GVT Header for an employee after RPYEU
  5. UPGRUNDO
    • UPGRUNDO
      • Used to undo GVT Run number by employee
      • Used to undo erroneous GVT Run due to set up issues or to remove archived GVT info
  6. RPW2 (Oracle)/RPW2 (Windward)
    • RPW2 (Oracle)
      • Produces W2 forms (supporting either a 2-on-a-page or 4-on-a-page format)
      • Reads XML file generated from RPYEU to print W2 forms
      • Prints W2 on pre-printed W2 forms or prints different copies (Copy A, 1, B, C, 2, D ) of the W2 forms along with an option to print 'Employee Instructions' on the back
      • Generates grand total and exception messages with RPW2 Execution ID as Execution Run Logs
      • It is mandatory to use the Execution ID of the RPW2 and run RMEX to obtain a grand total report
    • RPW2 (Windward)
      • Produces W2 forms (supporting a 2-on-a-page format only)
      • Reads IPGR/IPGH information generated from RPYEU to print W2 Forms
      • Generates grand total and exception messages with RPW2 Execution ID as Execution Run Logs
  7. RMEX
    • RMEX
      • Produces a grand total report from the RPW2 run to balance to RPYEU
      • It is mandatory to enter the Execution ID of the RPW2 run to obtain a grand total report
      • The RMEX grand total report is used to balance to RPYEU only, and is not used for government reporting
