how to correct errors after posting in payroll

[David hood]

I messed up. I set up a new payroll item (FICA for new pastor) with an expense instead of the bank - 01-5427 instead of 01-1110. The check printed O.K., but the check register shows the chack amount as more than what the check was for.
My question is can I change the posted records before I close the month and be able to print a correct check register??
I know I can make an accounting adjustment but would prefer to have the
accounts with the correct amounts.

void the check from payrol with the items setup in the same way, it will post to Fund Accounting and take it out correctly. Then go into Payrol and Maintain Item Descriptions and change the Debits and Credits to what it should be. Now go to Manual/Void check and reissue that check, and there is no need at this point to reprint the check, just use the same check number.

For further assistance feel free to call our technical support office at (800)486-1800.

Why can't I void a payroll check in one action instead of voiding each entry on that check? This is too cumbersom.

Merri,

The only reason David will have to make those additonal changes is because the item wasn't setup properly. But if you simply need to void a payroll check, follow the instructions on page 267 in the PowerChurch version 8 manual (or page 215 if you're in version 7). This will give you step by step instructions for voiding a check. Also always remember to make a backup before you make corrections like this for safe-keeping.
