Current Pay Summary Report - Enhance Payroll Analysis

Current Pay Summary Report Overview

The Current Pay Summary Report within SapphireOne PayRoll/HR Mode creates a report summary of the current pay before running the Payrun. The report can be broken down into various summed categories, including by Allowance and Employee.

When the Current Pay Summary Report is selected from the PayRoll/HR Reports menu, SapphireOne will present a print dialog screen for the user to select and customise the criteria and data they would like included within the report.

Print Destination Menu

The Print Destination Menu allows the user to choose the destination for the Report, and select from the options which include Printer, Custom Report, Quick Report and Labels.

Printer  Tells SapphireOne to send the report straight to the Printer. 
Custom Report  This allows the user to create a custom designed report. Once it has been created the user will be able to use this option from the Print Destination menu. 
Quick Report  Selecting this option will open the Sapphire Quick Report function. 
Labels  Selecting this option will open the Sapphire Label Design Report Editor, allowing the user to design Labels as required. Labels can be designed and printed on a sheet or roll.
CSV This outputs a CSV file that may be opened by an external spreadsheet application.

Dictation and Speech to Text Overview

SapphireOne’s implementation of both Dictation (MacOS) and Speech to Text (Windows) is a game changer for data entry. Any data entry field you can type into using a keyboard can use this feature.

You can also use this functionality on all inquiry screens within SapphireOne. For example, the user is in a Contact within a Client. They may have made a phone call to that particular client using the Softphone technology. Consequently, this will automatically date and time stamp both the contact and the phone number you called.

As soon as the call is completed, the user has the ability to use Speech to Text (Windows) or Dictation (MacOS). They can dictate into the memo field of the CRM contact, adding as much description as they require.

Dictation and Speech to Text Procedure

This functionality applies across every single Data Entry screen. For example, the SapphireOne user is entering a Vendor Invoice (VI). Additionally, you may want to add a memo within the Vendor Invoice (VI). The user can utilise the tool and simply dictate the memo.

Another example is if the user wants to add additional lines to the General Ledger account, within each General Ledger account. When the user is completing data entry using a General Ledger, there’s always a unique memo field for each GL account line.

The user can then utilise this feature to quickly add the information they need to add. Alternatively, you may have an interview with an employee. After the interview process is completed, the user can then make notes about the employee.

Speech to Text or Dictation is an extremely powerful tool. It is something that we at SapphireOne, as well as our clients, utilise daily. It is a massive time saver.

Current Pay Summary Report Type Menu

Selecting the Report Type Menu option will enable the user to print different layout styles of the Details Report.

Summary This report prints a current pay summary for each employee.
Direct Print This option allows the user to design their own format for the report.

Report Sort Order Menu

The Report Sort Order Menu allows the user to select from various sorting methods and criteria to organise data in different sequences while still maintaining the same fundamental report format. The user can sort data by:

No Sort This will display the Details Report in the order they are displayed.
By Allowance  This will sort the order of the data by employee allowance.
By Employee This will sort the order of the data by employee.

Report Selection Menu

Last Pay This will sort the order of the data by the Last Pay date.
Working Transactions This will only display data for current Working Transactions.
Active Only This will only display records that are currently active.
All Records  This will display all records, including inactive records.

Queue Button Selecting this button will put the report in a Queue, allowing the user to select the time and day for the report to run and print.
