Hello @JonpriL, 

Thank you for chiming in and providing me with your insight -- very much appreciated. However, the prompt message appears before I am able to choose a payroll item as you suggested or enter an amount as @Angelyn_T suggested, as well. Further, this employee is paid hourly not salary. 

Hello @JaneD and @Angelyn_T, 

I just realized that you may have not received my responses since I did not mentioned you in the appropriate response. I still have not been able to solve this matter.
