Title: PAYROLL LIABILITIES
Post by cathyh on 04/01/09 at 10:02:57

I need to clear out the payroll liabilites without posting them to A/P. Is there a way to do this?

hi cathy,

what i do (right or wrong) is go into each division and clear whatever needs to be cleared. I do wish there was a way to clear them quickly without going to ap.

Thanks, Lenette, that will work for now. It would be nice to have a quicker way- hint, hint!

Just curious, why would you want to do this on a continual basis, and not correct it in the setup?

It's not that we don't want to use this at all -- our main issue is that we are changing over from a different payroll system and this is one of the last things to straighten out. In the past we have done journal entries for the liabilities and manual vouchers to pay them. We did all of first quarter payroll in Evo but did not deal with the liabilities so we are stuck with those numbers still showing as owed in the payroll record.

We wouldn't mind doing taxes with this-- it is alittle messy with the creation of 7 vouchers(4 for fed, 3 for state) per division per payroll (we have 7 divisions- that's 49 vouchers twice a month- and that's just taxes!!).

But there are a number of user deductions, such as payroll advance repayment, for which we do not want a voucher created. I tested taking the vendor out; what I ended up with was a transaction in the GL that affected Accounts Payable and the liability/expense account but with no voucher created. This is not good--we don't do journal entries to our AP account so there is no way to fix it that I can figure out.

So I guess without some changes to the Payroll Program we will be doing some or all of liability clearing Lenette's way.

Steve, if you have some suggestions on how to set this up that I am not getting, please let me know.
