Payroll including timesheets from outside of date range

Hi, AH1

Thanks for your post.

To process payroll with timesheets, and you are processing outside of the date range or a prior one, you may if the lock period is tick that may prevent you for doing so. To check it, go to Setup > Preferences > Security. If it's ticked, kindly untick it. See screenshot attached below.

Feel free to post again anytime if you require further assistance.

Hi Doreen, appreciate the suggestion, however my issue is not with earlier timesheets being included, it is timesheets entered after the payroll date, that are being drawn in.

For example, my payroll period ends on Sunday 4th February.  We continue entering timesheets on Monday 5th and Tuesday 6th February (as we use timesheets for both payroll and job costing).  Then if we process payroll for WE 4th February AFTER that, the pay run will include the timesheets from the 5th and 6th (despite being past the end payroll date).

Its quite frustrating!

Hi, AH1

Thanks for your response.

Kindly check the settings on when your week starts on to see if it has the correct day. As this may affect the timesheet date when processing pay. To check it, go to Setup > Preferences > System tab, select the I Use Timesheets for [...] and My Week Starts on [...] preference.

Let us know how it goes on your end.

Best regards,

Doreen

Hi Doreen, I checked and our system setting is 'Payroll Week Starts on Monday' - which is correct in our case.

Thanks

I'm sorry thats not possible, we have a large and complex payroll that requires balancing out-of-system before processing through MYOB, which can take up to two days (hence the crossover into the new payroll week).

Thats OK, I can assume now this is a system issue with no resolution, I will mark the question as resolved anyway.  Thanks for your help.
