Payroll Posting - Cannot reverse

[Sheilah]

This is a weird one. I have 5 postings that came from payroll with a reference of "Reversal" on them. All identical -
Checking Account - Debit
Liability - Credit
Expense - Debit

This is on an employee that left. No payroll check was issued, it is all taxes. How do I fix this? When I entered transactions to reverse it through fund accounting, it does not effect the payroll data (her taxes withheld still show too high).

Thanks. Sheilah

If it was me, I would go into payroll and make negative amounts on employee items that were incorrectly posted and do a payroll run on the date or dates that were run incorrectly. The amounts will cancel in the payroll module if you match the dates.

The trick is to go through and turn off all other employees so you don't end up running a complete payroll.

Then run this 5 times and post in fund accounting.

There may be other ways to tackle this.

How do you enter negatives in payroll? I can enter a negative payroll check amount but cannot get the taxes to go negative. Sorry if I am being dense.

Under the Payroll drop down menu there is an option to Void a payroll Check. This will reverse everything in the payroll check including taxes withheld.

I can't do this because I do not have a check number. The only reference that I have is the word "REVERSAL" and it will not allow me to enter that. Thanks for the suggestion though. Any other thoughts out there.

Thanks.

Sheila,

After I make my payroll tax payment online through our bank; I go into PowerChurch and write a manual check with check number 01EFT, then the next month it's 02EFT.

If you can't void it through payroll; maybe you can void it manually using check number 01Reverse for the first check, 02Reverse, etc.

Thought I would post how I was finally able to fix this problem.

I went into payroll and set the tax table to "None". I was then able to enter the amounts as negatives to reverse it in payroll and fund accounting. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
