To update Payroll Files using a regular Payroll Report:
1.
First make a payroll report, either 'from scratch', or from a Labor Report.
2. Choose Update Payroll Files from the Data menu.
3. If the active document is a Payroll Report, you'll be asked whether to use it to update payroll files. Click
Yes to use it-- if you do so, you can skip to step 5. Click No to use a different Payroll Report. Click Cancel
to exit completely.
4. If the active document is not a Payroll Report or you don't want to update from the active document, you'll
be asked to choose a Payroll Report. Select one, then click OK.
5. All employee payroll files will be updated from the selected Payroll Report. The company payroll file
will also be updated.
NOTE-- In 2000, we replaced MacNail with Goldenseal construction
payroll software. Goldenseal is an integrated program
that includes general accounting, job costing,
payroll and project billing, plus estimating
and other features. It includes a Write Payroll
command which creates payroll in one step.
To update files using a corrected Payroll Report:
If you find you've made a mistake in a Payroll Report and have already updated employee Payroll files, first
fix the mistake in the Payroll Report for the pay period in question. Then follow these steps:
1. Choose Update Payroll Files from the Data menu, and select a file as described in steps 3 and 4 above.
2. You'll be warned that the payroll period has already been used to update the Payroll Files. If you
accidentally made the Payroll Report for the wrong pay period, choose 'Put it into a Different Pay
Period', then choose the correct payroll period in which to put it.
3. If you simply made a numerical mistake, choose 'Replace the Existing Numbers with it', and
the previous incorrect entry for the pay period will be replaced with the new, corrected version in the MacNail
Accounting software. |
