Retrieve a completed UKG Pro general ledger export/summary report via the Reports-as-a-Service SOAP API for posting to an accounting system.

Steps

1. File a service case in the UKG Customer Success Portal to have Reports-as-a-Service (BI/report export) access explicitly granted to your Service Account — it is not enabled by default even with other API permissions.
2. In UKG Pro, run payroll to completion and generate the GL Report and Export Files so the GL Summary Distribution/Suspense reports and GL export file exist for that pay date.
3. Call the Logon method on the Reports-as-a-Service SOAP endpoint using your Customer API key, Service Account (or Web User) credentials, and User API key to start a session.
4. Call GetReportList and GetReportParameters to locate the Cognos report path for the GL export/summary report, then call ExecuteReport (passing a PayDate parameter if required) to run it.
5. Call RetrieveReport/ReportStream with the returned ReportKey to download the output; set the US-DELIMITER HTTP header if you want comma-, pipe-, or space-delimited output instead of the default XML.
6. Parse the returned report rows (GL account, amount, employee, etc.) and load them into your accounting/ERP system, then call Logoff.
