Due to employee setup errors, we have to move state unemployment wages in the accumulations from one state to another. Because the processor cannot add a line during processing, the taxes cannot be moved in payroll. So, once the setup is corrected, the wrong Suta code will never appear again so we have to move or delete those taxes in the accums, which does not generate an entry to the General Ledger.
On the withholding side, additional lines can be added, allowing the taxes to be moved during processing (and creating a G/L entry so all systems are in sync).

Liabilities are triggered during payroll processing based on information posted with timecards (e.g. Unempl State). These timecards serve as the basis for liability calculations and are used to proportionately distribute the liability for proper expensing and updates to sub ledgers (e.g. JC, EM, or SM) and GL. Without basis earnings (e.g. timecards) the required expense and GL updates cannot be made.
To move employee unemployment wages from one state to another with updates to SUI, the recommended approach is to post negative/correcting earnings in the first Unempl state with an offsetting/positive entry in the second/correct Unempl state. If all other values on the timecards match, earnings, deductions and other liabilities should offset leaving only the change to SUI which can then be updated to correct accums, sub ledger expenses and GL.
I am open to suggestions as to how this could be solved in another manner, but cannot see a way to accomplish the desired result w/o providing the additional info already supplied via timecards.
BTW - deductions are not expensed or distributed across earnings - they can be entered as an override because they do not require basis earnings
