If a PR Timecard Entry batch is posted to the wrong pay period, the only way to correct this is to delete the timecards from the wrong pay period and enter them to the correct pay period. The following instructions are a way to speed that process up and avoid manually rekeying every line.
Create a PR Timecard Entry batch for the correct pay period ending date.
Go to File -> Add Timecard.
Select the option 'Initialize reversing timecards from another Payroll.' In the 'Period Ending Date' field, enter the incorrect period ending date. In the 'Post to Pay Seq' field, enter the pay sequence from the correct pay period to which the lines should be posted. Under Restrictions, make sure the 'Timecard Type' is blank to ensure all timecards are initialized. Finally, click 'Add to Batch.'
Now, in PR Timecard Entry, all the timecards entered to the incorrect pay period are in the grid as reversing entries. For rate per hour earnings, change the hours to positive values. For flat amount earnings, change the amount to a positive value. When finished, process and post the batch. Your timecards from the incorrect pay period are now successfully posted to the correct pay period.
Open a new PR Timecard Entry batch for the incorrect pay period. Again, go to File -> Add Timecards. Leave the 'Add timecards from the current Payroll into your batch' option selected. Under Restrictions, make sure the 'Timecard Type' is blank to ensure all timecards are initialized. Check the 'Mark added timecards as Delete' box at the bottom of the form. Click 'Add to Batch.'
In PR Timecard Entry, you will see that all timecard lines are there in red and the Action is 'Delete.' Process and post the batch. All timecards are now deleted from the incorrect pay period.
