Knowledgebase article #71732
After installing one of the versions noted below, if an employee's status is set as terminated and that employee also has records in the PR_40 file (which are saved based on the number of years to retain eFIling check history setting in Payroll Options) or in one of the Employee ACA files, the employee will not be purged during year end processing in order to retain the required information for ACA reporting purposes. Records in ACA Employer Maintenance and ACA Employee Maintenance will be purged during year-end processing based on the number of years selected for the Years to Retain eFiling Check History in Payroll Options.

This change was included in the following versions: (PU=Product Update)
Sage 100 2016
Sage 100 2015 PU 3
Sage 100 2014 PU 7
Sage 100 2013 PU 9
Sage 100 4.50 PU 8

Hurray for this change! The deletion was also a problem if you were using federal efiling and reporting to print W-2s after the year end close!

I'm trying to find KB article 71732 but can't find. Every time I log onto the sage website, it gets harder and harder to use.

I believe that the info above is the text of that KB.
