Need some creativity. Client 2017 switched to an outsourced payroll system in mid-June (under protest from the payroll clerk). They were live on said system until about a month ago - it just didn't work out. (Can't say whether that was true or not, but doesn't surprise me - they have some extensive allocations that we have a mod for and I'm sure the outsourcer didn't handle it.)
ANYWAY. Payroll clerk manually put all of the checks back into Sage to get them caught up so they could start using Sage again, and she didn't bother checking to see if the taxes (or basically ANYTHING, I fear) matched. And she didn't notice until she was live again. SO she now has the 2nd quarter ""offage"" and is putting that in as manual checks in the live company, after I copied it over to a backup where they will run their 3rd quarter reports.
But she still has almost 2 months of 3rd quarter to calculate, and there's no way that is getting done before the first check of 4th quarter (weekly payers). I doubt it even two weeks will cut it.
IF one week would do it, I thought we could put off closing the quarter, backup right before updating, then close the quarter and update so she can get her DD file, etc. THEN restore and she could continue working on 3rd quarter fixes. Once done, close again and bring in just the data entry files from the backup and update again.
But again, this only gives us one extra week. Any other creative thoughts to buy us more time?
