Resolution

Option 1 - Change posted time in Payroll:

  1. From the Payroll Tasks menu, select Change time entries, Change posted time.
  2. Enter the Employee, Period end date, and Check sequence
  3. Make the applicable changes and click Accept Check, then Finish.
    Note: For more information see How do I change or remove job information on a posted check? In the interfacing applications Post the changes using Task, Post Entries.
    Note: When using Change Posted Time in Payroll, transactions are created in General Ledger, Job Cost, Equipment Cost, and Billing. These entries do not post automatically. See Why did Change posted time not update my totals in General Ledger,Job Cost, Equipment Cost, or Billing? for details.

    Considerations:
    • If there will be a change in the state or local taxes for this check, or gross pay will be different, use Void checks in Payroll.
    • If one of the jobs is a certified job, use Void checks in Payroll. See How do I correct a posted check for a certified job? for details.
    • If you have tried to use Change Posted time and are getting a warning about a burden item calculating at a different rate or amount, use either Void checks or Enter Direct Costs in Job Cost.

Option 2 - Void the check in Payroll:

For more information, see How do I void a Payroll check or direct deposit? or How do I correct a payroll check with incorrect earnings when I have already paid the employee?.

Option 3 - Correct the entries in Job Cost using Enter Direct Costs:

  1. From the Job Cost Tasks menu, select Enter Direct costs.
  2. Enter the cost information:
    1. If correcting the job, cost code or category, enter a negative amount to the incorrect Job, Extra, Cost Code and Category, then a positive amount to the correct Job, Extra, Cost Code and Category.
    2. If the time entry was missing the job information, enter a positive amount to the correct Job, Extra, Cost Code and Category that debits and credits the same GL account.
      Note: This should include labor and burden amounts.
  3. Click Save Line, then Finish.
