2) So how to we go about replacing the missing file? To replace the missing file you will want to do a Manual Reinitializion of the Data File.
3) Go to Modules>Library Master>Utilities>Reinitialize Data Files, click the OK button that appears.
4) Then you will see a screen that has a Company code on the left side and a Manual Button on the right top, click Manual.
5) In the File Name box type in the file name exactly as it appeared in the error, in this case it would be PRKMVL.SOA and the click Proceed.
6) This should have replaced the missing file and you can then continue with Payroll Processing.
