Compare Transmission Files

Introduction
Getting Started

Main Menu

After payroll records have been processed by NFC, you can at any time compare the transmission records on file at NFC with the data contained within webTA. This process will verify that no changes have been made to the build file since it was extracted from webTA, and that no changes have subsequently been made to the data contained in webTA.

Three results are possible for this comparison.

First, the transmission records you upload could fail to match any records contained in webTA. This can happen if you try to compare an old file, such as one generated outside of webTA. It will also happen if you try to compare files generated by webTA before webTA supported the transmission file comparison function. In this case, transmission file comparisons must be performed manually, by locating the correct build number on the build history page, and performing the comparison yourself.

The second result is that webTA finds an associated payroll record, but that the transmission records contained in webTA do not match the data in the transmission file. This would indicate that either the transmission file has been changed, or that a newer record has since been generated in webTA. In this case, you must manually compare the two records to determine the differences. The comparison results page will identify the appropriate build number, and you can download the corresponding transmission file from the build history page.

Finally, webTA can determine that the two records match exactly. This indicates that the most recent build of payroll records for the employee for that pay period matches the file you uploaded.

The transmission file comparison feature is not required for normal payroll operations within webTA. It is only used when you must audit that existing transmission files match the transmission records contained within webTA.
