Using Post Manual Cheques

These steps describe how to post "after-the-fact" manual cheques that you have entered and processed in payroll, and that do not need to be printed.

To print and post manual cheques for which you selected the Print Cheques check box on the Manual Cheques window, use the Payroll Cheques window.

Before you start

  • Enter manual cheques using the Manual Cheques window, and process manual cheques using the Process Manual Cheques window.
  • If processing exceptions occurred, review the Payroll Processing Exceptions Report and, if necessary, correct data and reprocess manual cheques.
  • Verify the manual cheques processing with the Pre-Cheque Payroll Register.
  • Back up your data.

Posting a Manual Check

  1. Open Payroll > Payroll Transactions > Post Manual Cheques.
  2. Enter the Period End Date, the date through which you want to post manual cheques. The system posts all manual cheques with pay period end dates earlier than or the same as the period end date entered on this window.
  3. Click Post to post manual cheques through the date you entered, or click Close to exit without posting.

After Posting

To verify that the system updates data accurately, print the following reports:

  • The Payroll Register (from Transaction Reports), to verify that the manual cheque data was posted correctly.
  • The Earnings and Hours Report from Transaction Reports.
  • The General Ledger Batch Listing, if you create G/L batches during posting, or the Payroll G/L Transactions List, if you defer creating batches, to verify the G/L transactions resulting from payroll posting.
