I'm here to help you with the said report, rhpaco14.

 

This means that the paycheck was manually modified after it was created. What I can suggest is to pull up a report where you can review what was being updated.

  1. Go to Reports menu.
  2. Hover over Accountant & Taxes and select Audit Trail.
  3. Locate the affected paycheck.

I want to share something about paycheck. In QuickBooks Desktop, you can customize a paycheck layout or pay stub. This is helpful so you can change what details to display when printing it.

 

Please post again here if you have more questions. I'll be here to help.

I looked in my audit detail and don't see a check manually changed?

Is there another way.

    Hi Shug1. 

     

    Thanks for dropping by, I can clarify and provide some feedback for you. My suggestion to you  would be to run a payroll detail report to see which specific check was modified. The following article shows you the steps to then void, cancel or recall checks that have been modified as they will appear as edited.

     

    If you have any other questions, please post here night or day. Thank you and have a nice day.

    Typically our payroll stated 19 modifications when I submitted it.  After July 4 the number has jumped to in the 80's for modification.  I am typically only submitting 20ish checks.  Why the huge jump?

    Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, @Herm Witte.

     

    I'll share some information about the modified paychecks showing on the report and help you from there.

     

    Every time there are changes to the previous paychecks, it will count as modified. Thus, it's the reason why the modification jumps to 80. If you haven't modified anything, other users have done it.

     

    To verify, you can run the Audit Trail report and expand the details to review the changes made. Aside from checking the difference, you can check the user linked to the activities from the report. Here's how:

     

    1. Open your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
    2. Go to the Reports menu, then select Accountant & Taxes and choose Audit Trail.
    3. Locate the paychecks and verify.

    We are having this issue too. The problem is I have not modified any paychecks. All of the sudden the report reads that 73 paychecks were modified. When I look at the audit trail is shows pasts paychecks, but the modifications net to zero. Why is this happening and how is the problem corrected?
