Answer
The Use Processed Date? checkbox on most reports in Lightning Payroll determines how the software searches for pay amounts within a selected date range:
- Ticked: Searches by the date the pay was processed (e.g., finalised and saved).
- Unticked: Searches by the pay run end date (e.g., the last day of the pay period).
Example:
If you generate a report for November 1 to November 30:
- With Use Processed Date? ticked, the report will include pays processed on November 2, November 16, and November 30.
- With Use Processed Date? unticked, the report will include pays with pay run end dates of November 14 and November 28.
This allows you to tailor your report to focus on either processed payments or pay periods, depending on your needs.
