In all previous versions of Accountright Plus I have been able to create and edit Base hourly payroll categories. In AR2012 I can no longer do this. Most of my employees have more than one job all ...
Hi Jenat,
There are now 'system categories' that cannot be edited - these are Base Hourly, and Base Salary. The other categories should be able to be edited with one exception: When there is a 'saved' payrun.
Here's how save payruns affect your ability to edit payroll categories
This is new functionality above ARv19. If you click on process payroll it starts a new payrun. If you close the process payroll screen at any point it asks - "do you want to save this pay run to process later".
If you answer Yes, then there is an active payrun that may be using the categories you want to change. You should go back into the payrun and not save it to free the categories so they are not used by an existing open payrun.
Once they are not used by an open payrun they should be able to be edited.
Is that what you want?
Having said that, this may not solve your problem, and may not be what you want.
Could you please confirm that the procuedure above frees up the categories? If not, can you take me through the steps you're doing and we'll understand what's going wrong.
If you are asking for something else I have not understood, please keep up the conversation!
Cheers,
mark
