Verifying the payroll archive

To verify the payroll archive:

1. Open Sage 100 Contractor, and then select the company that you want to archive and close.
2. Open 5-2-2 Payroll Records, click File > Count, and then note the total number of records.
3. Open 4-2 Accounts Payable Invoices, click File > Count, and note the total number of records.
4. Open 5-3-8 Close Payroll Year. Archive and then close the payroll.
5. Exit Sage 100 Contractor.
6. Launch Sage 100 Contractor, and select the archive you have just created.
7. Open 5-2-2 Payroll Records, click File > Count, and then note the total number of records.
8. Open 4-2 Accounts Payable Invoices, click File > Count, and then note the total number of records.

Compare the record totals taken before archiving from each of the three databases before archiving to those taken from the archive. When the totals agree, the records have been archived correctly. If you find that the archive is incomplete, restore a backup and create new archives.
