Payroll

Hey, gang - Running into an error and it isn’t clear where it’s coming from.  I’ve got 3 separate deductions that produce this error when I attempt to process liability bills. The corresponding account is NOT associated with an account group, so it’s not obvious why I’d be getting a project error. To make things a bit muddier, I’ve got a similar deduction that affects the tax calculation, uses the same account but DOES NOT result in an error.

HelloWe’re having an issue with Canadian payroll and I’d like to know if anyone else has seen this, or if there is something we’re missing.We have a test employee who has maxed out on EI and CPP (tax reports confirm this), and when I process a subsequent regular pay run and compare the Federal Withholding Tax (FWT) and the Provincial Withholding Tax (PWT) to the Payroll Deductions Online Calculator, the amounts don’t line up. In Acumatica PWT is lower while FWT is higher. If I run the Online Calculator again and do not select the option for max EI and CPP having been reached, then the PWT matches what Acumatica calculates, but FWT is still out. In all standard pay runs I can get an exact match. We’re only seeing this now with maximums having been reached. I’ve gone through all setup and can’t see anything that seems like it would impact this.Appreciate any feedback anyone has on this! 

I had tried not activating the EI taxes on the Employee Payroll Settings but get an error when calculating the paycheck.  How do I set up this employee so EI insurable earnings & premiums are not calculated for this employee and that their T4 will show that they are EI exempt?

Has anyone customized a GI to create an export that can be sent in Excel to LCP Tracker for Certified Payroll?

Hi,I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with the Pay Activity Detail Data report since the recent MYOB Acumatica update. Current version is now Build 2025.101.100.4760 [25.101.0153].This report has suddenly become extremely slow. After entering the pay run number, it now takes around 1 minute 15 seconds just to refresh. Then after removing the default value in the Employees field (it automatically populates with the <NEW> flag, which is already frustrating), it takes another 1 minute 15 seconds to refresh again.So in total, it’s nearly 3 minutes just to run a simple payroll report. This never used to happen and is becoming frustrating when using the report multiple times a day.Is anyone else experiencing the same slowdown?And does anyone know if MYOB is aware or planning a fix?Ta

I’m trying to find a method to configure Acumatica Payroll to withhold a flat dollar amount for Federal Withholding for a specific employee.Consider the scenario: the employee is an owner of the company, and has other streams of income. The owner’s/employee’s tax accountant has told her that she needs to withhold $38,000 in federal tax this year to avoid a penalty. So, on the bi-weekly check, she needs $1462 of federal tax withheld. How can this be configured in Acumatica?

Client has banded PTO based on years of service, however EE PTO  time is to be used during the caldendar year and should reset on Jan 1.  The accrual rate should not change until the EE reaches their anniversary date.Currently you cannot accomodate this scenario:  What you are asking is not how the system works.  You can't have the PTO Bank set to Specific Date, and have the Banding Rule based off Anniversary Date. The banding rule is going to follow the setting on the PTO Bank for Transfer Date. It will look for the Years of Service to know how many Hours they are eligible for in a given year,  but it will transfer based on the setting on the PTO Bank. If it is set to Specific Date, then it will transfer that amount on the specific date.  If it is set to Anniversary Date then it will transfer that amount on the Anniversary Date. The Hours per year is a setting so the system knows how many hours they can have in the year.Does

Hi,I'm running into an issue in Acumatica 2025 R2 (25.200.0248) when trying to print checks from the Payment Batches screen (PR305000). When I click Print Checks, I receive the following error:  This only occurs in 25R2 I verified the same report (PR641010.rpx) in Acumatica version (24.105.0036) — it works without any errors and the report definitions are identical. I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions you could provide to help resolve this.Thanks in advance.Premalatha N

Has anyone setup Quick pay in Payroll.  I see options to set that up for salaried employees, but don’t see any place to configure it. Thanks,

Hi there,We are looking to find a solution where we can set up overtime pay items that incur superannuation up to 76 hours a fortnight, so we don’t have to review each staff member every pay cycle manually.Does anyone have a solution or suggestion on how to set this up?Appreciate everyone’s thoughts on this.Cheers,Matt 

Hi all — I’m looking for a GI pattern to display weekly totals of specific day fields from EPTimeCardSummary (e.g., Sun, Mon, …) only when IsBillable = true, including combos like Sun+Sat or Sun..Mon — but without using Group By on the main grid (I need to keep row-level detail intact). Available fields: EPTimeCardSummary.IsBillable (bool/bit) and EPTimeCardSummary.Sun..Sat. What’s the recommended approach to surface these weekly billable totals on an ungrouped grid (e.g., self-join to a grouped alias, other best practices), and any example expressions you can share? Thanks!

I am wanting to set up prevailing wages, and fringe benefits for our certified projects in Acumatica. I was able to figure out how to set up the wages, but need assistance with the fringe benefits. Can anyone teach me how to set this up? Or point me in the right direction? Thank you!

We have had this issue every year. I was told that it was a bug and new update would fix it but it is stillt he same issue. Anyone else?PTO Accrual - We accrue a certain amount of vacation and sick time throughout the calendar year and have a limit each year. This has been set up and worked in years past, but this year Acumatica seems to have exceeded the accrual, even though the maximum for the year has been reached. Anyone experiencing this same problem? I checked the PTO codes and they are all still set up correctly. 

Placeholder for 2026 Tax Updates

When you create a Weekly time card entry for a number of users that belong to the workgroup.The timecard entry is created with an On Hold status. A User is required to submit the timecard to remove it from the On Hold status.  For our customer this is workers who does not have access to  Acumatica hence an administrator need to update the timecard entries.  Is it possible to set the Workgroup timecard entries to Balance status? I am considering import scenario or review Action automation to update the timecards. 

The employer over-withheld pre-tax health insurance.  He then repaid the over deduction by creating an earnings code called additional pay and removing the taxes so the employee was paid the full amount.  This takes care of the employee.  However, the pre-tax deduction is over-stated by this amount.  It appears you cannot enter a negative pre-tax deduction on an adjustment to correct this.  What is the best way to move the additional pay to a reduction in the pre-tax deduction? 

Hi everyoneHoping someone can help.  We have a staff member who is going on 6 months leave.  So he doesn't accrue and leave etc, how do I set that up in Myob Acumatica, in Australia.thanks heaps E 

Is there an existing connector or integration between AllianceHCM (https://alliancehcm.com/) and Acumatica Cloud ERP?

While working on 2Q reporting we realized that some employees either had the wrong State SUTA codes or no SUTA codes at all. Does anyone know of a way to correct that to get it into their payroll files? I think we can create a paycheck adjustment to record the tax but not sure how to get the reportable wages to calculate correctly. Thanks

In Australia we pay Pay-roll Tax per State/Territory. Example there is NSW Payroll Tax and ACT Payroll Tax. This is not the PAYG Withholding Tax.We have had two new employees set up under NSW Pay-roll Tax when in fact they should have been ACT Pay-roll Tax. I need to fix the pays, so the report has the correct data in it.I fixed up the Pay Details for each employee I then did a pay adjustment for each employee (reverse and re-processed)But the report still has the same figures on it which are incorrect.Is there a specific process to fix this up? 

I am trying to release payroll and am receiving the below error. Any idea what could be causing this? When looking at the trace I thought it has something to do with PTO, but I removed PTO from the employees time and tried to release, and I am still receiving the error.  at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowInvalidOperationException(ExceptionResource resource) at PX.Objects.PR.PTOHelper.GetBankStartDate(PXGraph graph, Int32 bAccountID, PREmployeePTOBank employeePTOBank) at PX.Objects.PR.PRPayChecksAndAdjustments.CreatePTOBanks(PRPayment row) at PX.Objects.PR.PRPayChecksAndAdjustments.UpdateChildrenRecords(PRPayment row) at PX.Objects.PR.PRPayChecksAndAdjustments.InsertNewPayment(PRPayment payment) at PX.Objects.PR.PRPayBatchEntry.CreatePayments(PRBatch currentBatch) at PX.Objects.PR.PRPayBatchEntry.<>c__DisplayClass91_0.<release>b__0() at PX.Async.CancellationIgnorantExtensions.RunWithCancellationViaThreadAbort(Action method, CancellationToken can

Can Acumatica handle tracking Leave Without Pay?  I need to track the hours but the pay is 0.00. I setup an Earning Type for this and added it to my paycheck test in Paychecks and Adjustments.  I was able to add the earnings detail line with hours and set the pay rate to 0.00 however, during the Calculation process, Acumatica removed the line.  Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Good Morning, Recently when creating Employee Payroll Setting from an Employee I receive an error message whilst trying to save the new payroll settings and it clears all the work I’ve done in the payroll settings.  I will then need to go back into the employee and try to again recreate the Employee Payroll Settings.  I’m curious if others have had a similar issue or perhaps I’m doing something wrong that may cause this.  My usual steps are to create the employee settings, Then start at the furthest tab and work in because of the tax settings.  But after filling it all in I will get an initial error upon first save and the forms will clear. Thanks for any help.  🖖
