When a payroll liability voucher is created, liabilities are excluded by default and must be included in order to be paid by the voucher.
Liabilities can only be added to New vouchers.
If a paycheck has been voided, paid liabilities that need to be reduced display a negative amount in the Liability column. If one of these liabilities is included on a voucher, it reduces the amount paid to the vendor.
When liability checks are printed, if liabilities for the same bank account for the same vendor are included on a voucher, they will be combined into one liability check. If you do not want them to be combined, you must include each liability on a separate voucher.
