Join nowWhen I create custom liability payments, they are automatically being recorded before I can edit the payment. Is there a setting that will allow me to edit before recording?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I've got your back, @GEnsman.
When it comes to creating custom liability payments in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), there are some limitations to editing the amounts before recording them. You can only modify the value under the Amount to Pay column before clicking the Create button. On the other hand, the Balance column will be greyed out and can only be changed after creating the payment.
Here's how:
1. Go to the Employees menu, then select Payroll center.
2. Open the Pay Liabilities tab.
3. Under Other Activities, select Create Custom Payments.
4. A pop-up window will appear. Select the date range for the payroll liabilities you want to pay. Once you're done, click OK.
5. If you want to print the liability check, select To be printed. Otherwise, leave it blank if you issued a handwritten check.
6. Select the bank account and the date you want to appear on the liability check.
7. Choose either Review your liability check to enter expenses/penalties or Create a liability check without reviewing.
8. Choose the payroll item you want to pay. To edit the payment amount, select the box under the Amount to Pay column and input the desired value. Then, click Create.
9. A liability check will appear if you chose Review your liability check to enter expenses/penalties. From there, you can make changes to the Balance amount. Then, Save and close.
10. If you selected Create a liability check without reviewing, you can view the liability check in the check register and make further changes to the payment's balance if needed.
For more detailed information regarding this process, you can refer to this article's "Pay an unscheduled liability or create a custom payment" section: Pay your non-tax liabilities in QuickBooks.
In case you want to print paychecks or paystubs, you can check out this article for more guidance: Print or reprint paychecks and pay stubs.
