Why do I have an Out of Balance PR Batch in GL or JC?
Description

Tip: To locate the check causing the OOB entry you can use the task Print GL Recap. Run the task with the batch in the condition, and a condition for an employee less than an employee that is about the middle of the run. Update the condition using different employees until you locate the employee whose check was out of balance.

Cause

I needed to change the fringe amount on a PR check. Now I have an Out of Balance PR batch in GL.

Workers' Compensation fringe and tax amounts cannot be manually added to a check.

Manually overriding a WC Fringe or Tax can cause an out of balance batch.

See the other linked KB's for other causes of out of balance batches from Payroll.

Resolution

Void the check which caused the OOB Batch in GL.

This will send a reversal to GL which will also be an OOB Batch. You can turn off Force Zero Proof to post both OOB Batches.

Next in Payroll correct the WC Fringe Table or the Line of time which had the incorrect WC State and WC Code and reprocess that check. Verify that the correct WC State and WC Code are on your time entries. Before posting that corrected check back to GL and JC, verify that this check is in balance using the GL Recap report from the Tasks Menu.
