Checks were mistakenly entered with a July working month in August. These are not yet posted...how can I change the working month?

If the checks are still unposted in Fund Accounting, you can go to Modify Unposted Transactions and change the Posting Month on each transaction.

Does this also apply to Payroll checks, or do you have to do something in the payroll module as well? That scary warning about changing something in Fund Accounting but not in the Payroll module always causes me pause!

As long as everything other than the posting month is OK in Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Contributions, or Payroll, then you do not need to do anything other than change the month in Fund Accounting > Modify Unposted.

If there are other things wrong, such as dollar amounts, check numbers, etc., you would want to correct the issue in the originating module, which will post through to correct the issue in Fund Accounting as well.

Thank you!! I was afraid I would have to void all the checks and re-enter them to fix this, however, when I looked at some reports in Payroll, it seemed as though they were based on the date on the checks rather than the working month. It's good to know that this kind of correction does not require making a change in the original module.
