Hi Sbrowning,

On top of the suggestions from Smithco and Richard, if you are still interested of how to do a payroll remittance thru Pay Remittances in the Payments module, you can follow the steps below.

1. Make sure you have setup Sage 50 with remittance enabled.  See 10295 how to setup the payroll remittances.
2. In the Vendors module, open the Payments window/journal.
3. On the upper left section, change Pay Purchase Invoices to Pay Remittance.
4. In the Pay to the order of field, select the vendor you want to remit to (for example Receiver General)
5. The balances for each accounts linked for this vendor will show up in the Amount Owing column
6. If necessary, in the Payment Adjustment column
   • Put in the credit amount as a negative.
   • Verify that the Payment Adjustment Account is not the bank account, it should be a revenue or expense account. (Consult with your accountant to confirm what accounts should be used)
7. For each remittance balance, click the Payment Amount field
   • If necessary, overwrite the amount.
   • If the amount is wrong, then you need to investigate this further with your accountant, perhaps the book balance is incorrect.
8. Verify and fill in the rest of the payment cheque as you would normally.
9. If you have a government form to include, then write down any figures that you need to copy into the government form.
10. Enter in your Remittance Reference No. on the bottom left side of the window.
11. If you are sure everything is correct, click Process.

Hope this helps.
