If an ETP amount or payment code is incorrect, you must first reverse the ETP using an adjustment pay and submit the resulting STP batch. Then you can re-enter the ETP correctly and again submit the resulting batch.
Reverse an ETP pay transaction
Choose Payroll, Transactions, Adjustments, Create or Modify.
Enter the relevant Employee Code. The message Terminated employee — Continue? is displayed. Choose Yes.
Choose Find (F2) in the Function field and choose Add new pay - start with Other pay.
Choose Find (F2) in the Adjustment Pay Number field and select the relevant pay. Choose Accept (F9).
Press Enter.
Enter a Pay Description, for example: Reversal of incorrect 2020/21 ETP.
Choose Reverse (F8). Select Yes to reverse the pay.
Choose Term Pay (F5) to check that the ETP amounts are reversed. Also check that the ETP date is the SAME as the original ETP date. If the ETP date is not the same, instead of reversing the original ETP, you will create a new ETP with negative values.
Choose Accept (F9) and Accept (F9) again then Finish (Esc) to accept the pay.
Check the pays. Set only the Adjustment Pays, and ensure the Pay Period Ending and Date Paid dates are the same as the original ETP pay you are reversing.
📌Note that you should have already checked that the ETP Date is the same as the ETP you are reversing as per step 8.
Run the Pre-Process Pay Details report and check that the ETP details are correctly entered, especially check that the ETP Date that appears on the report near the termination items is the same date as the original ETP date you are reversing.

Run Process Pays to process the reversal pay.
