If, for whatever reason, you need to reactivate a task with associated payroll information, the payroll data will be deleted if it has not already been inserted onto a paycheck.
To reactivate a task:
Open the completed task. Note that the View Payroll button is visible.
Select Active from the Status drop-down list. If no payroll entries were paid (i.e., the payment is not on a paycheck), then you will be notified that all existing payroll entries for this task will be deleted. If payroll entries for this task are located on a paycheck (i.e., paid), then you will be notified that the payroll entries cannot be deleted.
Click OK to reactivate the task. The task's status changes to Active. Note that the View Payroll button disappears.
Once reactivated, you can complete the task again in the usual manner when necessary.
