In Payroll Data Entry there is no "Check Already Exists" warning or "Is this a Check Reversal?" when creating a Manual Check (or Check Reversal) if the Check Number entered is already on file. Best Practice and proper Internal Control should exist in the Payroll Module to help prevent errors during data entry just as they do in other Modules. Examples of good controls are in the AP Module Invoice Data Entry and Manual Check Entry. AP Invoice Data Entry alerts the user if the invoice entered is already on file and provides the user with various options. AP Manual Check Entry prompts the user "Is this a Check Reversal?" if an existing check number is entered for the Bank Code used.

Now that Sage has indicated that it will be maintaining and enhancing the Payroll Module for the foreseeable future it is time to Vote to correct this existing weakness. Please VOTE for this enhancement request.

Thanks for your Vote!
