This registry entry enables you to define which options should be (or should not be) selected when a payroll period is created or modified.
The registry entry was designed to prevent posting inconsistencies generated when a payroll period is inadvertently created with one or more options which are not set in accordance with your firm’s standard practices.
If you define the setting for an option as true, a user will be warned if the option should be checked and is blank.
If you define the setting for an option as false, the user will be prevented from adding or saving the record if the option is checked.
If an option is not defined in this registry entry, the user may elect to either check the option or leave it blank.

The Post History button (in the Payroll Period) should only be enabled for payroll service users who export data, but do not print and post checks. If you use the Post History function, you cannot print a paycheck for employees impacted by the post for the selected Payroll Period.
The new process replaces the print/post check functionality to enable use of certain payroll reports that present valid information such as workers compensation. When run, it sets the Payroll History Date Effective to the Last Check Date from the Payroll Period, and the Source Journal to registry setting described below or ‘ADP Export’ if the registry is not present.
