GP Payroll Manual Check Clear Data

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

We are using GP 2016.

We imported manual checks as beginning balances (no Bank Rec / GL updates) to migrate data from a legacy system using SmartConnect.

They discovered there was a problem with Deduction/Benefit codes included in the payroll that has been imported and posted. The batch was posted, but not through to GL and the year was not closed.

We now want to clear the payroll history data and re-import.

It was suggested we use GP's Clear Data  (GP --> Maintenance --> Clear Data --> Payroll Series --> Payroll Year End tables --> Selecting all 5 tables)

Will that clear out all trace of the original import, or is there some remnant that will be left over in a summary somewhere ?

    Is that the only payroll data in the system?  That would only remove the data related to year-end tables, the underlying transactions that you want removed would still be in the Transaction History, Check History, Employee Summary, etc.  You would need to include all the transactional tables, enter manual checks with negative amounts to off-set the previous manual check, manually remove the data from the tables in SQL, or probably the best way would be to utilize the PayrollPostingInterruption.sql for that Audit Trail Code, and it will completely remove all data related to that posting.  

    I wouldn't expect any data to be in the Year End tables since it doesn't seem like you've processed the Year-End routine.

    Hi,

    If you clear transaction history using the Payroll utility that should get it cleaned up. You'll need to run a reconcile as well to get the summary tables updated.
