Hi LLSH 

As explained previously and in my post, Payroll activity and Payroll register reports are not the same:

The Payroll activity report pulls it's data from pays processed through Process payroll.

The Payroll register report pulls it's data from the employee card>>Pay history.

The YTD verification report and Summary of payments reports in STP also get their data from the employee card>>Pay history.

This means that:

• if the pays processed through payroll are gross YTD $52,000 - the activity report will show $52,000
• if the employee card>>Pay history is gross YTD $32,000 - the register report and STP reports will show $32,000

The Pay history should be the employee's actual YTD amount, according to what has been processed and paid in Process payroll. 

Manually changing the Pay history is done by going to employee card>>Pay history and overtyping the amounts in the fields. 

This employee's YTD for the Base hourly payroll category is $52,000:

The activity detail report shows base hourly $52,000:

The register detail report shows base hourly $52,000:

I go into the employee card>>Pay history and manually overtype the Base hourly amount to $32,000:

I re-run the activity report and base hourly is still $52,000:

I re-run the register detail report and base hourly is now $32,000:

The only way to resolve this issue is to restore a backup and fix the employee's Pay history.

Something else to note is that the Payroll Summary report (Payroll>>Payroll categories) also gets it's data from the employee card>>Pay history. This means that if the Pay history is incorrect this report will also display incorrect values.

Please let me know if you need further help.
