We had an issue where we converted payroll from 2016 to 2018, PU3, 2.18.3 and their fixed multiple Auto Earnings in Employee Maint, Auto Earning converted but set ALL departments to the main department. Apparently this is a defect that will be fixed in 2.18.4. This was our first client that uses multiple auto earnings. Our client fixed it herself. It wasn't on Sage KB yesterday but Sage support finally unearthed it - defect ID 109790. Thought I'd post it.
