Company Payroll Data is in the wrong year
Problem
Payroll data that exists in the database is stored in the wrong year. I.e., a payroll run for January 2005 is showing up in January of 2004.
Solution
Typically, this issue occurs when a new company is created using the wrong Data Year, or the Year End function is not run at the end of the calendar year.
As the system does not have the capability to transfer data from one year to the next, there are really only two options:
1. Restore a backup and re-enter the required data: If you have a backup of the data prior to the incorrect entries being made, you can simply restore this data, move to the proper year, and re-enter the data as needed. NOTE: If a backup is restored, you will lose ALL data that has been entered since the backup was made. It is highly recommended that you make and keep a backup of your current information prior to restoring any backup.
2. Delete the history, and re-enter the required data: You can go to Employee/Paycard History, delete the offending history records for each employee, and then simply re-enter the information in the proper year.
NOTE: When a History Record is deleted, the information is completely removed from the system. This means it will not appear on any reports.
