vacation pay

Hello, our accountant needs to reallocate the vaction pay owed (from previous years ) to the owner and has asked me to make an adjusting journal entry for a client. I no longer have an accountant version of Sage so the amount that is showing in the GL for vacation pay is no longer owed since the accountant is doing his payroll in his own payroll program. I tried entering the adjustment in General Journal but it does not allow me to use the GL in question.

Probably because I no longer have the payroll module ( I switched to a perpertual license a few years ago) therefor I cannot issue a paycheck to offset this amount. Can anyone help me make this adjustment?

Is there a way to do it?  Thank you in advance for taking the time.

    First, talk to your accountant to see if he has any suggestions, as he knows how your particular set of books is set up.

    Second, if you are no longer using the payroll features in Sage, you should be able to go into setup and unlink all of the payroll-related accounts - which will then allow you to make general journal entries into accounts that are now locked.  Again, talk to your accountant first, as he may have suggestions for steps to do this that will minimize future 'data integrity errors'.
