Starting the use of Payroll Function

[pkkiefer]

This is my first entry and look into the Forum. I am attempting to use the Payroll function for the first time (I've been a PowerChurch user for 2 years). Payroll checks have already been entered and posted for 2004. The Federal deductions that are calculated through PowerChurch Payroll function are somewhat different than the posted deductions.

How can I get the already-posted information into the payroll records so my end-of-year W-2's will be correct? We have a small number of employees, so voiding checks and starting again is not a problem. I just want to get this set up so I can use this function. But, again, the some of the deductions don't exactly match the PwrCh calculations.

Also, until I get the checks that I can print from the computer, do I process the checks manually? Are there any tricks to this?

Please forgive my ignorance--I'm not a trained bookkeeper, so I don't use accounting jargon!

Thanks for your help! - PK

If I'm understanding correctly, you're saying that you have Payroll entries that were posted into Fund Accounting, but nothing in Payroll? If that's the case, you can process the Payroll as you normally would for the date you need to update in Payroll. Then, you'd delete the unposted Fund Accounting entry that gets sent over when you process. That way, you won't affect Fund Accounting.

If that's not what you mean, you may want to call us.
