Alternatives to pre-update reports

How to get pre-update reports after updating records, or run alternative post update reports in Sage 50 Payroll.

Sage 50 Payroll contains several reports in the Pre-update Reports option. These reports are only available before you update records.

Find out below how to either go back and get pre update reports, or run alternative post update reports. 

If you need to run a pre-update report after you update records, you can either restore back, or run a post update alternative report.

Restore back and run the pre-update report

1. Backup your data.
2. Restore an automatic recover backup to before you updated records for the period in question.
3. Run the pre update reports you require as normal.
4. Restore the backup you took in Step 1 to get your data back to where you started.

---

Run an alternative report

There are post update reports that offer the data available in some of your pre update reports. You can time by running an alternative report instead of restoring back.

Payslips

All standard payslips have an equivalent in Historical Data. To access these payslips:

1. Select the required employees.
2. Click Company, then click Historical Data
3. Enter the required process date range, then click OK.
4. Click Reports select the Payslips folder, then select the required layout.
5. Click the required output option, for example Print or Preview.

Cheques and BACS

There's no alternatives in Sage 50 Payroll to the cheque or BACS reports and you can't edit an existing report or create a new report to print this information. If you didn't print these reports before updating records, you should take a back up of your data then roll back or restore data to before you updated your records. You can then print your pre-update reports then restore a current backup of your data or reprocess up to date.
