We incorrectly posted our payroll to September instead of October (in the payroll module).
We found the mistake before we posted incorrectly to fund accounting. We have not yet posted in fund accounting. Could someone please let me know if it is possible to go into the payroll module and "correct" the posting month to be October instead of September? The only other possibility we have thought of would be to restore our powerchurch and re-enter the information we worked on today. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let us know.
Thank you!

You can change the posting month directly in Fund Accounting under Modify Unposted Transactions. The posting month does not affect Payroll data, so you don't need to make the change in Payroll. Payroll strictly uses the check date and ignores the posting month.

Thanks so much for your reply. If anyone can answer this next question, we are just curious!
What is the purpose of the payroll module even asking for what month you want to post to if it ignores it and the fund accounting month chosen "overrides" what you choose in the payroll module?

It will create the transaction in Fund Accounting with whatever your Current Working Month is, or if you choose to override that, with whatever month you choose at the time of posting from Payroll (or A/P, A/R, or Contributions).

The answer to the original question was that if you have not changed your working month to the new month, need to enter payroll for last month, or whatever the situation is that you end up with the wrong month on a transaction, you can change it in Fund Accounting before posting.

Payroll reports all pull by check date. Fund Accounting reports (almost) all pull by posting month.
