Overriding payroll record calculations

Before the final payroll computation, you can override the calculated amounts. If you know the amount, enter it while entering the timecard. Otherwise, it is a good idea to trial-compute the payroll records first. Then, when reviewing the trial-computed record, enter the amount.

To override a payroll record calculation:

  1. Open 5-2-2 Payroll Records.
  2. Enter the timecard.
  3. Select File > Save.
  4. Open 5-2-3 Compute Payroll, and then select Trial Computation.

    Important! After final-computing a payroll record, you cannot change the amounts on the Calculations tab.

  5. In the 5-2-2 Payroll Records window, select the record you want to change.
  6. Select the Calculations tab.
  7. For each payroll calculation that you want to change, do the following:
    1. In the Amount cell, enter the amount that you want to use.
    2. In the Override cell, type Yes.
  8. Select File > Save.

Tip: When a payroll record is assigned status 1-Open or 2-Bonus, type Yes in an Override cell for Sage 100 Contractor to use the amount you enter.
