Payment Summary Report - Easily Track Payments and Withholdings

Payment Summary Report Report Overview

The Payment Summary Report within SapphireOne PayRoll/HR Mode generates a payment summary showing the total amount paid to payees/employees, as well as how much was withheld from the payments for the financial year.

When the Payment Summary Report is selected from the 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.

After the Print button is selected the following popup dialogue will appear. The user can select the chosen Financial Year for 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.

Dictation and Speech to Text Overview

SapphireOne’s Dictation (MacOS) and Speech to Text (Windows) functionalities revolutionise data entry. These features are available for any data entry field and all inquiry screens within SapphireOne. For instance, when a user makes a call via the SapphireOne Softphone, SapphireOne automatically timestamps the contact and phone number. Post-call, users can dictate notes directly into the CRM contact memo field in relation to the stamp.

This functionality is applicable across all Data Entry screens. As examples, when entering a Vendor Invoice (VI), users can dictate memos directly. Similarly, additional lines can be added to the General Ledger account, with each line having a unique memo field. After an employee interview, users can efficiently dictate notes.

Speech to Text and Dictation are powerful tools that SapphireOne and its clients use daily, significantly saving time.

Payment Summary Report Type Menu

Selecting the Report Type menu option will enable the user to print different layout styles of the report.

Each Payment summary prints two copies. Both copies including a “Notice to Payee” should be given to the employee or entity. If you are printing Plain Paper summaries, you must submit a Magnetic Media file to the ATO with the electronic record of what you have already printed.
