Making zero net adjustments

Note: PR82.1 creates adjustments as payment type J (Adjustment) records and assigns a unique adjustment number to each adjustment.

If the net amount of the adjustment is zero, specify the amount on Adjustment (PR82.1). For example, if you adjusted unemployment taxable wages for an employee who moved during the year and did not update the state code in a timely manner, Payroll posts the wages to the incorrect state. In this case, you must adjust the wages from one state to the other, but the adjustment should be net zero.

Access Adjustment (PR82.1)

Note: A unique payment record is created for each adjustment you specify. Payroll assigns a unique number to each adjustment.
Define the adjustment.

You can make the necessary adjustments to correct taxable wages, correct excess wages, replace one deduction with another or replace one pay code with another.

Note: We recommend that you run Payroll Register (PR141) for an audit trail of the adjustments, immediately before running the Payroll Close (PR197).
Create an audit trail of the adjustment using Payroll Register (PR141).
Run Payroll Close (PR197) to update history.

If the adjustment needs to have an immediate effect on payroll history reports for year end processing, you can run Payroll Close (PR197) for a mini-cycle after you specify adjustments. If an adjustment does not need to be updated immediately, you can update it during the next normal payroll cycle when you run Payroll Close (PR197).
