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.
