This video is from a previous year, but rest assured the process remains the same.
Once you’ve finished adjusting your employee tax slips, you must validate them before generating the transmission file or saving the PDF.
During validation, Avanti will check for:
Missing or negative amounts
Missing information
Invalid information
Any issues will display in the results. Errors will be red, and you must adjust these before moving on to the next step in the tax slip process. The warnings will be blue and can be updated if desired.
Step 1: Open Validate Tax Slip Data in the Avanti Desktop Application.
By default, this can be found in Canadian Payroll >> Tax Slip Processing.
Step 2: Select 2023 in Tax Year if it’s not selected.
Step 3: Select the Tax Slip Group you wish to validate.
Additional Information
You can validate for all your tax slip groups, but it may take a couple of moments to finish.
Step 4: Select OK to start the validation. The Results will display any errors and warnings identified.
Errors appearing in red must be fixed before creating and saving the transmission file.
Warnings appearing in blue may or may not need to be addressed.
Additional Information
Once the validation is complete, we recommend printing or saving the results for future reference.
Step 5: Did you find an error or warning that must be addressed? Go to Modify and Add Employee Tax Slips to update the employee. Once you've updated your employees, you'll need to rerun the validation for each tax slip group with an updated employee.
Step 6: Repeat Steps 1 to 4 until all the tax slips are validated and the employee information is correct.
Well done! You've finished validating your tax slip data. The next step in the Tax Slip Process, Print the Tax Slip Review Listings.
