Payment (deposit) method missing in payroll setup

Article ID: 1000740

Problem

When you select Edit Payment Due Dates/Methods for a liability in the Payroll Center, the Payment (deposit) method is missing from the payroll setup. As a result, you can't choose payment options such as check or e-pay.

This problem is caused by damage within the Company file.

Assumptions

You want to set up a schedule for liability payments.

Expected Outcome

You will resolve the missing payment method and be able to set up a schedule for liability payments.

Details

A payment (deposit) method will not show up in the Edit Payment Due Dates/Methods payroll setup if it has not yet been set up as a payroll item on the payroll item list.

In order to resolve the missing payment method in the payroll setup and schedule the liability, it is necessary to repair the company file.

To repair your company file and enable payment methods in the payroll setup:

Run the Verify Data utility.

For instructions on using the Verify Data utility, see Use the Verify Data utility.

Once the verification is complete, click OK (or Close if it finds issues).

Re-sort the lists.

For instructions on re-sorting the lists, see Re-sort QuickBooks lists.

Close and reopen QuickBooks.

Run the Rebuild Data utility.

For instructions on how to rebuild data, see Rebuild a company file.

When the utility is finished, you might have to repeat steps 1 through 5 two more times until the program detects no errors.
