Hello,

I have a posted payroll check that is incorrect. I reversed the posted transaction, corrected it and then reposted it, but I cannot figure out how to correct the payroll item.

Can someone let me know how I can correct the payroll item?

Thanks

Mike

It sounds like you made your correction entry in Fund Accounting, not in Payroll.

Let's assume you had not made corrective transactions in Fund Accounting. The procedure would be as follows:

In order to fix payroll, you will need to rerun payroll with correction amounts. If it was me, I would void the incorrect payroll checks, then rerun payroll with the correct amounts, all on the same date as the original incorrect entry.

Be sure to turn off every employee who is not affected so the payroll run will only include the corrective amounts.

When you post to Fund Accounting, all the amounts will be correct.

To take care of the Fund Accounting entries that you already made, you will have to reverse them again in Fund Accounting. In fact, do this before you make the payroll corrections because it will be easier to detect if everything came out ok.
