Changes were made to how Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes are passed to Aatrix. Most recently, SOC codes will be required on the Washington state quarterly tax form, starting with the fourth quarter of 2022. To print this tax form, you must have Sage 100 Payroll 2.22.3 installed. SOC Codes are entered on the Taxes tab in Employee Maintenance. In the future if SOC codes are required to be reported for any other state, no additional program changes should need to be made in Sage 100 Payroll.
The following changes were made in version 2.22.2.

To create Accounts Payable invoices for the deduction, click this button and enter a vendor number. Options for grouping deductions and separate invoice lines for each employee are also available. For more information, see Set Up Deductions to Create A/P Invoices in the help.
When the (Integrate with) Accounts Payable check box is selected in Payroll Options, the following fields appear on both the Main and Additional tabs in Company Tax Group Setup:
