Any work-arounds for getting the payroll history for prior years?  The client has year-end backup companies, but the "Retain Perpetual History" option was not checked; therefore the payroll check history report does not show any data in the 2019 version.

The only option I can think of is to print the Sage 100 2015 Check History Reports, save the to PDFs, or export the PR5 data to Excel.

Here is the Sage KB article regarding this issue:
