Multiple Users Using Payroll Simultaneously

We have hundreds of employees and was hoping to have two users working on payroll. One user going down the list from A-Z and a second user working backwards, just to speed up the process. However, we received a message that only one user can use payroll at one time. Is there any workaround for this? That was the whole reason we wanted to add a second user.

Processing payroll simultaneously allows you to streamline the workflow, tgm21403.

 

In QuickBooks Desktop, the Payroll function has a lock-out system that stops other users from using the feature at the same time. I've added an article that you can browse to help you learn more about the processes you can perform in single or multi-user: Access Mode.

 

You can also utilize these articles to help manage the restrictions of a user on your company file.

 

 

Moreover, I'm sharing this resource to aid your future tasks. It contains information on how to run and modify your reports to get the accurate information needed for your business: Understand Data.

 

If there's anything else you need assistance with about users' roles, please keep me updated by leaving a reply. I'm always ready to help you out.
