W2_PROCESS_W2_FORM_PRINT

The W2 Print Programs completes and prints the W2 forms and generates the W2 Media File, based on the defined parameter selections.

W2s are printed with boxes on blank forms. For self-mailing, the MW1288 form will be supported. For envelope-distributed forms, we will support the LW28700BLANKW format. Both formats are 4 on a page, one above the other.

All W2 Form Print Programs are aligned with the government forms in the PDF format. Users can adjust the parameters for the Top Margin and the Between Form Space when generating the PDF file. Once the PDF file is generated, users will not need to adjust the Page Set up when printing. The PDF file is generated in the working directory of your P2K path. Write down the Execution ID of the W2 Print Program report and run RMEX to obtain a grand total report.

Printing W2 Forms#

Consent Logic#

Printing of the W2 forms can be done either by running the RPW2W4C/RPW2W4TB and/or using the REW2/BEW2 functions in Self Service.

Logic for the RPW2W4C/RPW2W4TB function has been added to respect the IMST “SS_REW2’ preference. As well, the REW2 will respect the IMST “EE_W2_GVT_RUN preference. Depending on the set up of these two preferences, the RPW2W4C/RPW2W4TB and the REW2/BEW2 will print the W2 information.

Processing Logic#

The SS_REW2 preference must be defined prior to running the RPYEU function.

The EE_W2_GVT_RUN preference can be updated (to define the GVT RUN#) prior to running the REW2/BEW2 function. This allows the employees to access their forms online using Self Service.

After running the RPYEU function, the W2 forms need to be generated.

1. If the SS_REW2 preference is set to N:


2. If the SS_REW2 preference is set to Y (default) or is not defined:

3. The BEW2 forms in Self Service will be available to employees after the RPYEU and RPW2W4C/RPW2W4TB functions have been run.

Please refer to the chart below as a quick reference for this logic.
