2. Select the (Taxes, Income, Deductions, T4 and RL-1 Reporting) tabs.
3. Under Historical Amount enter in YTD totals for the employee.
   • There’s a row to enter the Vacation Owed history on the Income tab
4. Select tab Entitlements (if needed).
5. Under Historical Days enter the YTD totals for the employee.
6. Click Save and Close to update the employee.

1. Note the opening or starting balances for all the payroll accounts.
   • Vacation payable, EI Payable, CPP Payable, Federal Income Tax Payable, Wages & Salaries, EI Expense, CPP Expense, etc.
2. Post each paycheque individually as they occurred, or post a single paycheque that totals all year-to-date amounts as if it were one cheque.
    NOTE: This will affect the account with a journal entry and will require a reversal of the journal entry in a future step. 
3. Under Cheque Number, enter some unique title to indicate opening balances.
4. Make sure to select the icon to Enter taxes manually.
   
5. Go through each tab and enter in the YTD the totals for each field.
6. When done, Post the cheque.
7. Do steps 2-6 for all employees.
8. Do a Journal entry to put all payroll accounts back to their initial correct opening balances.
   • Unlink Vacation Payable if there’s a discrepancy before making a journal entry to this account
   • For more information, follow "Data inconsistencies have been detected" in the Integrity Summary window
