-

-
If you use Microsoft SQL Server 2008, start SQL Server Management Studio. To do this, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.

Run delete statements against the company database.

The other lines delete the contents of the work files and the activity files in the Company database.Delete DYNAMICS..UPR10300 Delete DYNAMICS..UPR10304 Delete UPR10200 Delete UPR10201 Delete UPR10202 Delete UPR10203 Delete UPR10204 Delete UPR10205 Delete UPR10206 Delete UPR10207 Delete UPR10208 Delete UPR10209 Delete UPR10213 Delete UPR10301 Delete UPR19900 Delete UPR19901

If you use Direct Deposit, run this delete statement for Direct Deposit Work table:
Delete DD10100 --(Direct Deposit Employee Deposit Work)
Step 2: Delete temporary files
To delete temporary files, open Windows Explorer, and then click the Temporary directory. The Temporary directory has the following path:
C:\Windows\Temporary
In the directory, delete the files that begin with TNT. Then, delete the files that have a .tmp file name extension.
Step 3: Perform Check Links
Check Links will check the linking of the data between the tables to ensure data integrity. To do this, follow these steps:
-
Open the check Links window. In Microsoft Dynamics GP click Microsoft Dynamics GP, click Maintenance, and then click Check Links.
-
In the Series list, click Payroll.
-
In the Logical Tables list, click Payroll Transactions, click Insert, and then click OK.
-
In the Report Destination dialog box, click to select the appropriate check box, and then click OK.
Note You can safely ignore the error messages that occur in the error log. The Check Links process is reattaching the batch ID to the existing transactions.
NOTE: If your batch should have been a recurring batches, and was rebuilt by the Check Links process, the batch frequency was set to 'single use' by default. Click Transactions, click Payroll, and then click Batches and select the Batch ID that was recreated, and review the Batch settings. If this should be a recurring batch, change the frequency to a Frequency other than Single Use.
Step 4: Build the check file
Build the check file again. All the batches are still in the check file.
