Remittance reset to 0

SUGGESTED

There were quite some people working with Sage and our company before me. They all calculated remittance manual and buggered up here and there - CRA send me a discrepancy report which I calculated in the next remittance payment so infront of CRA we are 0 owing right at this moment. However I want to use the remittance feature in Sage - it is all nicely set up but trying to do the remittance payment it tells me owing ei and cpp xy amounts. How can I reset that to 0 without backtracking the last 10 years. I saw that under settings-remittance you can "reset" it saying start to calculate from this and that date on but that was quite back in the days and this option I cannot see in my version of sage (updated). So is there any new solution for it? Can I just post it and reconcile it to make the remittance feature happy but that would propably bugger up other numbers like my bank account right? I want to use the feature so please help me!
Thanks a lot!

    The remittance feature can be a little tricky especially after a number of years without using it. There is no reset button other than removing all your previous connections to it. The numbers are generated from payroll to your ledger accounts. I might try going to the setup, settings, payroll, remittance section and remove all of the information on the screen regarding payroll remittances for CRA. Save and exit! Ensure your general ledger CRA account payables have the correct balances that are outstanding for CRA. Go back in the setup, settings, payroll, remittance and re-create the vendors for EI, CPP & ITax, remitting frequency (bi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, etc.) and your next end of remitting period (June 30). Next go to your payment screen, select remittance, vendor and see what pops up. If the numbers are correct then you can move forward. If not you may have to clear the lookup data for remittances. Before you clear the lookup data for remittances do a backup to ensure nothing else is lost in the translation. This should work! If not post back!
