Transaction Summary Report - Gain Insights into Employee History Transactions

Transaction Summary Report Overview

The Transaction Summary report within the History menu of the SapphireOne Payroll/HR mode shows History Transactions totaled by Employee, in either summary form or more detail. It differs from the allowance totals period summary; in that it is based on history transactions rather than allowance totals. 

When the Transaction Lines report is selected from the History 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.

When printing reports, the user should be aware that SapphireOne will assume that it is to print the selected report on all Employees that are currently active and in SapphireOne, the same as when a Employee Inquiry is performed. This may be from just a few employees but could extend to hundreds or even thousands of employee’s.

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 in portrait format summarises the transactions for each employee. The allowances and deduction are totaled and then printed in a before and after tax grouping.
Transactions This Report in portrait format shows in detail, the totals for all of the lines that made up that pay. 

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.

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 ID This will sort the order of the data by employee ID.
By Surname This will sort the order of the data by surname.
By Pay Frequency This will sort the order of the data by pay frequency.
By Class This will sort the order of the data by employee class.
By Department This will sort the order of the data by employee department.
