When you run Calculate Payroll, the system searches for previously-calculated payroll activity associated with the same pay period end date as the run you are executing (or with a future date). Calculations based on year-to-date activity are affected by the sequence of payroll runs. Sage 300 Payroll protects the integrity of your data, if out-of-sequence activity exists, by offering the following options.
Erase
From the message window, click the button to completely "undo" any current and future calculated payroll activity. Use this option to "redo" a payroll run that contains multiple errors, or that contains a single high-level error such as the wrong check date, the wrong pay period, or the wrong selection list.
Merge
From the message window, click the button to "undo" any current and future calculated payroll activity only for employees in the run you are executing. Use this option to recalculate payroll only for employees for whom you corrected or added timecards or for whom you corrected information in the Employee Payroll window.
Cancel
From the message window, you can choose the button if you need to return to the Calculate Payroll window.
Delete All
From the Calculate Payroll window, you can choose the button to "undo" all existing calculated payroll activity. (First click to close the message window.)
