Zero dollar payroll distribution journal is allowed to post to the general ledger proof





Description of Issue

Issues deleting 0.00 amount lines from a Payroll distribution journal

Gen Journal Entry issues deleting 0 amount line



Context
  • Payroll 

  • Distribution journal

  • Delete

  • Zero 

  • 0.00

  • General Ledger

  • Proof



Cause

Payroll post to Proof option causes 0.00 journal lines to be created.



Resolution

Payroll work ticket MUN-408628 has been completed and is available in version 2021.10 so 0.00 lines would not be created. 

Use General Journal Entry/Proof to void the journal.  

Work around provided by Payroll: this can be avoided by posting directly to the GL and not going through the Post to Proof option.  Remove the post to proof option.
