Question

Amending previous years pay runs

I need to make amendments to a previous years payroll (22/23). I have unlocked it and made amendments and submitted an FPS with a "correction to earlier submission" reason and it says it has been submitted correctly. 

Looking online however, it says I cannot do this through quickbooks. Has this gone through to HMRC or not?

I'm using quickbooks online advance payroll

Hi there, @ian26. I'll share insight about submitting payroll corrections made in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

After completing a pay run, QuickBooks will lock it to prevent any further modifications. This is done to avoid any accidental or incorrect changes that could be made. In your case, since these are from your previous year's payroll, you'll have to make the amendments directly to the HMRC, as we can only perform the following changes if we do not exceed the deadline.

 

Moreover, you can better understand your business's financial status and your employees. You can refer to this article for reference: Run payroll reports in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll.

 

Ping me if you have further questions concerning payroll transactions and other QuickBooks-related matters. The Community always has your back. Take care!

Thanks for that. 

 

I don't understand though why it lets you unlock pay runs from previous years and resubmit them though. It also says the fps submissions to Hmrc are successful?

Thanks for getting back to the thread, @ian26.

 

I'd be glad to provide information on why it lets you unlock your pay runs in QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP). 

 

The reason why QuickBooks allows you to unlock and resubmit pay runs from previous years is for modifications and because it's needed for amendment purposes if you want to change something. Also, the FPS submissions to HMRC are successful means that your FPS filing status is accepted.

 

For more information about the status, refer to this article: FPS to HMRC.

 

I'll add this article to guide you to run reports for your financial status: Run payroll reports in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll.

 

Return to this thread if you have any other concerns about why it lets you unlock your pay runs. I'll be here to help you in any way I can.
