| | 1-click payroll check reversal posts the reversal to the original date for prior year/quarters |
| Resolution |
When using 1-click reversal to reverse a check, the original check date populates by default but the check date field is now open to allow the check date to be changed. User needs to enter a date in current quarter, otherwise the system will use the default original check date as the check reversal date. This will result in posting a check reversal to a closed quarter or prior year, and this could affect prior quarterly tax reporting and amended filings may be necessary.
