Payroll Negative Hours

Agree!  I have been unable to find a way to “correct” a payroll overpayment other than modifying existing hours/rates to reduce that payroll which results in no audit trail/history to show.  

Hi @SAskelson were you able to resolve your issue? Thank you!

I would also like to know how to handle this. 

@SAskelson I believe in the PR module the only answer is to void and reissue the check towards the correct earning type code. Voided checks are the only way to insert “negative” hours.  

I am guessing the problem with voiding the payroll record is that taxes have already been paid for the week and recreating it in a different pay period causes the taxes paid to be incorrect.

SAskelson, I agree.  Depending on the Acumatica version and build, voiding may not be an option if you have already created and processed the liability bills.

It would be nice to be able to void as of the current date and not as of the check date, that way if you need to reissue a check the void and reissue could be reflected on the same date and your tax deposits/reports would better reflect what happens.

This is a terribly frustrating feature of Acumatica, and hopefully it can be fixed.
I’ve used over half a dozen different pay systems and I can’t ever recall not being able to enter a negative amount. Especially when trying to correct errors & overpayments.
