If you rollback without preparing for it, you may find you don't have everything you need to complete your reprocessing.

 TIP: Rollback is ideal for correcting mistakes that affect just one or a few employees. 

Find out below about how to prepare.

Original payments

If you've already paid the employee the wrong amount, you need to know the exact amount you paid them. This helps you to calculate how much their net pay changed by after reprocessing, so that you can make an adjustment for this.

To get this information, you can print payslips, or print a report such as the Payment Summary History Part 1.

Nominal Link

The Rollback option takes your payroll data back so you can make amendments. It doesn't change anything previously posted by the Nominal Link into Accounts.

When you update records in payroll after making your corrections, you must post the nominal link again for any employees you've reprocessed. You can post this:

• To a File on your computer, rather than into your accounting software. Then post a manual journal in accounts to update the values to match the reprocessed payroll values
• Into accounts as normal.

   

   The original and new journals appear in your accounts, post a manual journal to remove the original, incorrect values

If you need to reverse a nominal link posted to your Sage Accounts software, print a report to help before you rollback.

Print the nominal link transaction report (un-grouped), from Nominal Link Reports. This provides you with the values your software posted during the nominal link, that you can manually journal out of your Accounts data.
