Activate the New Routines

Once you have completed installing a tax update, you must activate the new routines in PR Routines.

New or updated routines are not effective until you activate (initialize) them. You must do this for each active Payroll company.
  1. In the PR Routines form, select File > Initialize.
    A prompt displays asking if you want to initialize PR Routine information.
  2. Select Yes.
    A confirmation message displays and the Last Updated field for each applicable tax routine (in PR Routines) displays the current date.
  3. Select Close.
  4. Verify that the system updated the procedure name with the current year for each applicable routine.
    For example, if you update the Federal routine for 2025, it should display as bspPRFWT25. If multiple updates occur for a routine in the same year, the suffix includes a sequential number after the year (for example, bspPRFWT252).
  5. Repeat all steps for each Payroll company.
When you process payroll, verify that the calculations are correct. If you encounter problems or have questions, please submit a support case with Viewpoint Support.
