Exported information does not balance

When the Export Payroll function is run, the transaction that is created is out of balance.

 

Cause:

This is because there are certain GL accounts in specific departments that have not been entered.

Solution:

When the system is exporting the GL information, it checks whether or not the entry being exported contains a GL account. If there is not a GL account assigned, the system then skips the entry, and moves on to the next one. This then leaves the transaction out of balance.

To correct this:

Steps:

  1. Go to Setup > Departments and Accounts.
  2. Enter a GL account for EVERY payroll category in EVERY department that you are using. Even if it is a category or department that you do not use (or expect to use), it may be a good idea to enter the corresponding number for the future.
