I closed my month by mistake in Payroll

Summary

What to do when you close a month too early in Sage 300 CRE Payroll.

Resolution

 CAUTION: Changing the Payroll Month from the PR Settings manually causes incorrect balances on the employee totals. It could require an expert to reconcile the differences. 

Continue processing in the future period

You can’t reopen a month in Payroll. However, the software updates the Payroll module based on the check date and others based on the accounting date. The entries will go to the proper locations based on the dates. Don’t close the month again until you catch up to the correct date.

  • You can still process and post to the prior period
  • Subject-to reports that use Employee master files won’t have the correct month-to-date totals
  • You can run reports with date ranges that pull from check records
    Example: Tax Preparation and Subject-to (Date Range)
  • Any automatic pays, deductions, fringes, or taxes based on a month-to-date total or limit can be incorrect
 NOTE: You’ll get a warning for printing checks, generate direct deposit, and manual checks until you're caught up. 

 

Restore from a backup

Restore to a prior date

You can restore the entire company folder from a backup to revert the month to the prior period. This reverts your entire company data to an earlier date. You'll have to recreate any entries done since you made the backup.

Restore for reporting only

You can also restore a backup to another location for reporting purposes only. Don't create entries in this folder. Add the company to the Open Company list and remove it after printing your reports.
