We need to make a payroll correction as the FICA Medicare was incorrectly calculated on several employees. The amount of tax was too high so we are adjusting the EE and ER taxes and taxable wages. If I enter a manual check and it does not have any gross wages, only the correction to the FICA tax, I can post the check.
When I enter several checks in a batch, I get the error message that I cannot post a check with a gross amount of zero. All the checks have zero gross wages as we are only correcting previous taxable wages. No new wages are due.
Why?
What is the difference between performing the task as a single check or a batch?

Great Plains does not want to post batches with a zero total.
This is true across all modules.
Can you post the zero checks with the next payroll batch? That is the easiest solution.
Great Plains really does not use the batch total, other than for deciding whether to post the batch or not, so you can try to update the batch total with a dollar in the batch header file with a SQL query, maybe you can fool GP into posting a one dollar total batch.
