29 Revise Payroll History Manually

This chapter contains these topics:

When an integrity report reveals errors in payroll history, you might need to manually correct the error before you run the report in update mode. The Payroll system provides several revision programs you can use to manually correct payroll history. You should correct this history because the system uses it to calculate the totals that print on your tax reports and year-end forms. User defined code tables 07/IX, 07/IT, and 07/ID list the error codes that print on each integrity report.

Caution:

When you revise payroll history manually:
  • The system does not update the General Accounting system. You must manually enter the appropriate journal entries.

  • The system does not create an audit trail of the changes you enter when you revise payroll history manually.

  • The summary totals will not equal the detail totals.

Therefore, these programs should have the highest possible level of system security.
