Mass Update Arrears Amounts

Before performing any mass update, backup the data.

There are two mass updates that will be necessary.

• From the Activity Center, select Payroll, Processes and Mass Update.
• Update File: Employee Postings-Current Period Pay Period
• Update Field: Deduction Amount In Arrears
• Records to Update: cp.empno="xxxxxxxxx" and cp.postcode="xxxx" and cp.posttype="D"
• New Value: 0.00
• Update File: Employee Postings-Current Period Pay Period
• Update Field: Unused Amount Held In Arrears
• Records to Update: cp.empno="xxxxxxxxx" and cp.postcode="xxxx" and cp.posttype="D"
• New Value:  0.00

The Payroll History Panel will still show the arrears amount when looking at the deductions. The Payroll History Panel will not show the updated amounts until after the next final payroll is run, or until the Edit Payroll History action is used to access the amount.

When you edit a deduction, Abra Payroll automatically reviews the amount in arrears in the Employee Deductions Register (PRDEDS.DBF) database and compares it to the amount in arrears in the Employee Postings - Current Pay Period database. If they are not the same, Abra Payroll automatically updates the deduction information (in PRDEDS.DBF) with the current posting information (from PRPOST.DBF).
