Sage 100-Payroll 2.19- Payroll Check Printing-Check Already Printed

Sage 100 - Payroll 2.19

I printed payroll checks and the last check printed on white paper.

Before printing a check register and posting,

A) I selected Payroll Check Printing

B) Print Checks Already Printed

C) Entered the next starting Check Number (which happens to be the last printed check.

D) Selected Employee Number = (Last check employee)

When I Select Print, I receive the warning message below...

Obviously, I do not want to void all of the other printed checks..I don't want to void any of the previously printed checks.

I simply want to print the last check again, on a form with the same number as the last check printed.

What am I doing wrong?

    Set the employee number range to include only the check you wish to reprint.

    Thanks Tom, my step D might not be clear....I set the "Selection" to be only the employee number of the employee of the last check (printed on white paper.)

    In your case no checks will get voided.  It will only created void checks in the range of checks specified if due to reprint a check number no longer exists in payroll data entry and does not exist within the previous 90 days in payroll history.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I am not sure I fully understand what you are saying. If I understand you correctly, no check will be voided unless:

    1) The check number in the sequence is missing for some reason.

    2) The check number has not been used in the last 90 days.

    IF this is the case, the error message appears to poorly communicate the warning.

    p.s. I will find it hard to verify or approve the answer, as I was forced to hand type the check... due to the time limit and the message leaving me concerned about proceeding.

    This information on this message about voiding checks was added due to an issue reported by a customer where they thought the system was hanging.  The customer was changing the check number from 1 to 111773.  The system then had to check 111,772 check numbers to see if they were used or not.  As batching is allowed in payroll we now have to check not only payroll data entry tables but also history tables for the existence of the check numbers.  It takes some time to check over 100,000 check numbers for voids.

    So we added the information that if they click no to changing the starting check number to inform the user of the check numbers that would be checked for voids and the note that it could take time depending on the size of the check range.
