Q – Why doesn’t Bank Services use the batch dates to record the Check and Deposit Entries from the subledger transactions?

For example, in the Reconcile Statements screen, the deposits and withdrawal entries show a withdrawal date or deposit date that is not consistent with the originating subledger’s batch dates.

A – This is by design.

The dates in the Withdrawal Date and Deposit Date fields are populated with the login session date of the user logged into the company at the time the batches are posted in the subledger. If you would like a specific date to be generated in these fields in the Reconcile Statements screen, you should log into your company with that specific date as your session date.

The alternative is to export the records, change the FSCYEAR and FSCPERIOD and/or the RECYEAR and RECPERIOD fields in the export file, then import the file back in to update the dates.

Of course, this does not apply to manual entries entered directly into the Reconcile Statements screen. These fields can be populated manually at the time of entry.

Note: Any changes to the system tables in Pro Series should be done by an ACCPAC Certified Consultant or Business Partner. Please ensure that there is a full and verified backup before proceeding. This should first be attempted in a test installation and the results should be fully verified before implementing in a live system.

1. Using FoxPro Access from the File menu, open the SYRFRXS.DBF. This is located in the root directory of the Pro Series installation.

2. Edit the “Exportss” field for the “PEBMEC” record to “T.”

3. Save changes.

Note: This resolution maybe applied to other reports in Pro Series as well. However, there are some reports that do not support this option and therefore have a setting of “F” in the “Exportss” field. Test all changes thoroughly before implementing on a live installation.

Q:How does voiding payroll checks at different times; affect the amounts on W-2 forms?

A:The amounts on the W-2 form will be adjusted to reflect the amount of a voided check, only if the check is voided in the current open quarter. Refer to the list below to view some of the values on the W-2 form that are affected by this process:

– Wages, Tips and Other Compensation

– Social Security Wages

– Medicare Wages and Tips

– Federal Income Tax Withheld

– -Social Security Tax Withheld

– Medicare Tax Withheld

Example One

Quarter Two 2004 is the current quarter. A check was created and voided in quarter two. How will this affect the W-2 amounts? All appropriate W-2 amounts for that quarter will be adjusted to reflect this change.

However, if a check is voided in a closed quarter, the W-2 amounts will not be affected. Refer to the example below.

Example Two

Quarter Two 2004 is the current quarter. A check was created in quarter one but voided in the current quarter. How will this affect the W-2 amounts? This will not affect any W-2 amounts; an manual adjustment must be made to alter these amounts.

Note: For more information on how to manually adjust the W-2 amounts, please refer to the “Origins of W2 Information and Amounts” whitepaper, attached to this article. Ensure that there is a full and verified backup of the Pro Series installation before proceeding.
