Refund a Payroll Item During a Regular Payroll (Employee Being Paid During Payroll)

In order for a refund to be processed, the Payroll Item>Pay Cycle must match the Pay Cycle entered when the payroll is initialized.  For example - Payroll Item>Pay Cycle is set to 'Split between first and second pay of the month.' The Pay Cycle selected when the payroll is initialized is the 'Third Pay of the month.'  This refund will not be processed during this payroll because the 'pay cycles' do not match.  This refund would be processed during the third payroll of the month.
