Using Post Manual Checks

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

To print and post manual checks for which you selected the Print Checks check box on the Manual Checks window, use the Print/Post Checks window.

Before you start

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

Posting a Manual Check

  1. Open Payroll > Payroll Transactions > Post Manual Checks.
  2. Enter the Period End Date, the date through which you want to post manual checks. The system posts all manual checks 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 checks 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 check 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.
