  • Errors updating payroll
Resolution

Before you begin

  • For each user making reversals
    • Go to Role Maintenance, Security Events and select Allow Reversal of Checks not in Current Quarter
  • The Check Date is the posting date for the check reversal
  • If the check date is from a prior quarter or year, enter a date in the current quarter
     NOTE: 
    Posting a check reversal to a closed quarter changes past tax reports. File amended returns
  • You can't reverse a check with 0.00 earnings that paid over-withheld taxes or deductions using this method. Create a new check to adjust taxes or deductions to zero. Offset it with an advance from future payroll. If not possible, contact Customer Support with specific information
  • If you’re reversing a check and then creating a replacement, you must process them in separate batches
  • If reversing in a past year, don’t use one-click Payroll reversal. Enter and reissue the check manually
    • Use the current date for both. Fix the tax summary to avoid double-counted withholding wages
