when I converted to version 11 - I guess I bypassed payroll account set-up. Anyway, I have employer taxes and gross wages on several employees setup as an AR account instead of an expense account. I have been using the accounts for months with no problems. I had to add a new employee this month and as I was doing my monthly recons noticed that only SS was calculated for the employer side only. Once I figured out what was wrong - the system made me change accounts (from AR to expense) - then I voided the check and reissued so that the employer side would be correct. I can/have post the new issued check - but I cannot post the void because the "bank accounts are different". I can't change the accounting back to what it was so how do I fix this?

You're saying you can't post the reversal to Funds Accounting from AR or from Payroll ?? This may be a case where you won't be able to do anything about the AR records, but you can change the Funds Accounting by doing a reversal on the original payroll check in Funds Accounting.

John Meyers ... what do you think ??

The only thing that AR reports to Fund Accounting are payments once they are received. You can set up a lot of information that needs to be collected, but nothing will leave the AR module except receipts of payment.

You can just abandon the stuff you set up in AR and deal with the transactions that were posted in Fund Accounting.

It sounds like you may have entered some items in AR that did get posted to Fund Accounting. If so, I would look in Fund Accounting / View Posted Transactions and "REVERSE" the entries that made it to Fund Accounting.

I think you can search by Journal Code, which will be AR.
