Solution:

A correction needs to be made and a check must be reprinted for a payroll posting that is from a closed payroll quarter.

Sage Pro allows a check to be voided from a closed payroll quarter, however it will not reopen the corresponding posting. By design, payroll postings from closed payroll quarters (periods) are not editable. The reason for this design is to comply with accounting and legal practices.

The current workaround is to void the check and enter a new posting with the correct amount. It is recommended to print the 941 Exception Report for the closed quarter when the check was originally posted.

Important When entering a new posting and the check date or the pay period entered is to the previous closed quarter, the postings will be posted to the current open quarter.
