User accidentally posted payroll to the wrong bank code. Coincidentally I had made a backup of the company a couple of days ago so there is a payroll folder that can be potentially restored. I renamed the test company PRTST to PRLIV (live company). I also renamed several legacy files in the PRLIV folder ?????TST.soa to ????LIV.soa. When I try and access any program from the menu there is a message that payroll is not installed. What else needs to be done to copy the PRTST folder to the PRLIV folder and get payroll working?

Use the original PR0LIV.soa file? Legacy is starting to come back to me.

I assume they updated..... Beside the wrong bank code and the checks appearing in the wrong bank rec bank, and the wrong GL account being hit, what else needs to be corrected?? Personally I would go with a JE reclass to fix the ledger. If they want the bank rec fixed, fix that manually or find someone with PVX chops to write a quick fix. How did you make the back up? Copy and paste? Why not rename ""bad"" folder and rename the backup folder? That works for me. If the backup was the TST company, copy the live copy to the TST company (GL only so the backup TST PR is not affected) then copy the TST (GL and PR) back to the live company. And does this fall under the premium STUPID billing rate?

The direct deposit file is the primary issue that is not correct. It has the ACH format of the wrong bank. I did exactly what you mention for the copying. In addition, I had to copy the pr0 (options) file from the ""bad"" company to the TST company I copied over. The PR0 file contains records with the company code. I ""think"" I am OK now but want to make sure I am not missing something.

So they have PR DD set up for the wrong bank?? I thought you would get an error message if you were using a bank code that was not set up for DD.

They just changed banks and they used the ""old"" bank code (the bank that they just closed) instead of selecting the new bank code. It would be nice if we could have a default bank code so they wouldn't make this error.

Or just delete the bank from the PR DD Interface set up configuration so they can't use it for DD process.
