Split a Payroll Liability

Use the Split Liability feature to modify liability amounts owed to vendors.

• This feature splits the liability, creating two liabilities that when added together equal the original liability amount.

• The account code allocations of the liabilities are proportional to those of the original liability.

• This feature is not available for system deductions, such as federal withholding, state withholding, FICA, etc.

• Only excluded liabilities may be split.

• The split liability can be for either more or less than the original liability.
