For live payroll processing only

Generally, when you select the payroll schedule to process payroll, Accounting CS automatically retrieves information for the current payroll batch for that payroll schedule, whether the prior batch has been processed or not. However, you can choose to process the most recent prior payroll batch for a payroll schedule, if it has not yet been processed.

  1. Choose Actions > Enter Batch Payroll Checks.
  2. Select the appropriate client in the client selection field at the top of the screen.
  3. Choose Edit > Options.
  4. In the Enter Batch Payroll Check Options dialog, select the payroll schedule for which you want to enable the prior batch processing.
  5. In the Settings section, mark the Prompt if prior batch is not processed checkbox.
  6. Click OK.
