Symptoms
If the payroll batch in Canadian Payroll becomes stuck or there is a posting interruption during the Update Masters process, restore to a backup immediately and rerun the payrun. However, if that is not possible, then review the tables in Canadian Payroll that are updated during the posting process.
Cause
Posting interruption.
Resolution
If the Update Masters process has started, you will not be able to set the batch back to available status. Instead, you will need to review the following tables to remove any data that posted from this batch. Then recreate the batch and start the payrun process over.

The following tables are also updated:
CDN Payroll Employee T4 File - CPY10103
CDN Payroll Employee T4A File - CPY10104
CDN Payroll Employee R1 - CPY40105
Note
The above table list may not be complete.
The supported method is to restore to your backup immediately if there is a posting interruption during the update masters process. If that is not possible, then you are on your own to review the tables above to remove any data from the interrupted batch. Then recreate the batch and start the payrun process over. Cleaning up these tables for you falls under Microsoft's consulting guidelines for data-fixing and is not covered by your regular support plan.
