Entering payroll advances
Important! If you are issuing a cash advance, Sage 100 Contractor still requires a check number to save the transaction. Enter a dummy check number.
To enter a payroll advance:
- Open 5-2-2 Payroll Records.
- In the Employee text box, enter the employee number.
- In the Period Start text box, enter the date when the payroll period begins.
- In the Period End text box, enter the date when the payroll period ends.
- In the Check Date text box, enter the date when the check is to be issued.
- In the Check# text box, type 0000.
When you print the check (using the 5-2-4 Payroll Checks window), Sage 100 Contractor assigns the check number to the record.
If you have already issued the check, enter the check number in the Check# text box.
- In the Payroll Type list, click 5-Advance.
- In the Quarter text box, enter the payroll quarter.
- In the State text box, enter the tax state.
- In the Advance text box, enter the amount of the payroll advance.
- Click File > Save.
Tip: Sage 100 Contractor assigns the advance status 2-Computed; you do not need to final-compute the record before printing the check.
