Quality Standard Report (QSV)

Learn all about the new options available.

Written by Terence Cassidy

We have introduced the Quality Standard Report, known in PAB core as the Quality Standard Validation Report (QSV), to help you manage Quality Standard Validation results more effectively. This report provides a dedicated location to review errors, warnings, and information messages from Quality Standard checks run in either Pay and Bill 2.0 or Pay and Bill Core.

To access the new Report:

  1. Click Payroll and then click Payroll Exceptions.

  2. Select Quality Standard Report.

Menu Quality Standard Report

The Quality Standard Report displays verification results in a clear table format, showing Worker Reference, Worker Name, Error Code, Error Description, and Severity level.

The results are automatically organised to make them easy to review - first by Worker Reference (so all issues for each worker are grouped), then by Error Code within each worker's records. This logical ordering helps you work through issues systematically, either addressing all problems for one worker at a time or focusing on specific types of errors across multiple workers.

To find specific workers, use the basic search function, which searches on Worker Reference, First Name, and Last Name.

For more detailed searches, click the filter icon within the search field. The advanced search option also includes National Insurance Number and displays Employee Status and Employment Type information.

Worker Advanced Search

You can filter results by severity type using the dropdown, which offers four options: "All" to show every record, "Error" to display only critical issues that require immediate attention, "Warning" to show potential problems that should be reviewed, and "Information" to view general notices and updates.

This filtering capability helps you prioritise your work by focusing on the most critical issues first.

Filter by Severity

After entering your Worker search criteria or selecting a severity filter, click the search button to apply your filters and update the results.

When you need to review a worker's details, click on their Worker Reference within the results grid to navigate directly to their worker record in view mode. This makes it easy to make any necessary corrections.

The report includes a CSV export function , enabling you to download all results or just your filtered results for further analysis or record-keeping purposes. The export maintains the same ordering as displayed on screen and always provides the most current data.
