peachtree-software peachtree complete accounting 7.0 Quick Setup Guide

After you have entered paychecks in payroll entry, look at the postings for 
accuracy before you print the checks. The Payroll Register is an excellent 
report to use before you print checks.

From the Reports menu, select Payroll. Peachtree displays the Select a 
Report window.

Select Payroll Register, and then select the Screen button.

In the Filter tab, select the Date drop-down list.

You have a variety of choices on how you print this report. Select Today 
from the drop-down list. The dates now display the range 3/15/03 to 
3/15/03. Using this filter, we will view paychecks entered today only.

Today’s date represents the system date (computer date). Our sample 
company system date is always set at 3/15/03 for tutorial purposes.

Select OK. The Payroll Register appears.

The two checks we just entered display, outlining each payroll field and 
the amounts deducted. These appear accurate. However, let’s examine 
one of the payroll entries in more detail. 

Place your cursor on the transaction line that represents Michelle Wang’s 
paycheck. A blue box outlines the report line, and the cursor changes to a 
magnifying glass.

This indicates you can examine the transaction in more detail.

Double-click the area outlined in blue. The Payroll Entry window displays 
the original transaction we just entered.

Double-clicking transaction lines in reports displays the window where 
the transaction was originally entered. This is known as the drill-down 
feature. You can drill down on most transactions displayed in reports. 
One advantage of using the Payroll Register is that we can actually edit 
the transaction at this point.

Give Michelle four hours of overtime by typing 4 in the Overtime Hours text 
box and pressing 

e. Notice how the amounts are automatically 

adjusted.
