Entering payroll advances

Important! If you are issuing a cash advance, Sage 100 Contractor still requires a cheque number to save the transaction. Enter a dummy cheque number.

To enter a payroll advance:

1 Open 5-2-2 Payroll Records.
2 In the Employee text box, enter the employee number.
3 In the Period Start text box, enter the date when the payroll period begins.
4 In the Period End text box, enter the date when the payroll period ends.
5 In the Cheques Date text box, enter the date when the cheque is to be issued.
6 In the Cheques# text box, type 0000.
7 When you print the cheque, Sage 100 Contractor assigns the cheque number to the record.
8 If you have already issued the cheque, enter the cheque number in the Cheques# text box.
9 In the Payroll Type list, click 5-Advance.
10 In the Quarter text box, enter the payroll quarter.
11 In the Province text box, enter the tax province.
12 In the Advance text box, enter the amount of the payroll advance.
13 On the File menu, click Save.

Tip: Sage 100 Contractor assigns the advance status 2-Computed; you do not need to final-compute the record before printing the cheque.
