Hotfix: Net pay accumulates when using same check number for multiple employees in Manual Check for Sage 300 Canadian and US Payroll 8.0

When you use Sage 300 with Payroll 8.0 with Payroll Tax Update Q4 2024 SR1, and create two manual checks with the same check number, the net pay on the second check includes the amount from the first check. Use this hotfix to resolve the issue in Canadian and US versions of Payroll 8.0 with Payroll Tax Update Q4 2024 SR1.

This issue occurs when you use Payroll Manual Checks to create two checks with the same check number, check date, bank, and period start and end.

Here's an example:

1. You issue a manual check to an employee for $100 net pay. 
2. You issue a second check for a different employee. Marilyn's pay is 20 hours x $8 per hour or $160.
3. The net pay on Marilyn's check is $260, including the $100 from the prior check.
