How to handle blocked cost centers from Payroll to FI (RPCIPE00)

Question

We have the need to do retro payroll adjustments - the problem is that many times the original cost centers are blocked.  This causes errors in the feed to finance via program (RPCIPE00).  How can we avoid this error?  We have considered using payroll substitution - but we understand that this will not send just the adjustment amount to the substituted cost center - but in effect create a transaction reversing all of the original transaction and then repost.
Has anyone tried an enhancement point in RPCIPE00 to try to address this problem?  Any other suggestions?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi
The salary is sent to GL and charge payroll account XXXXX
When you import the employee time to Projects, you will distribute the expenditures. Verify you set up the auto accounting rules so the project labor costs will debit the project cost account on GL and credit the payroll account XXXXX.
At the end of each period you will see that the employee salary was allocated to the projects.
If the labor rate you use are not accurate, you will see that payroll account XXXXX is not totally offset. Remaining balance of account XXXXX has not been absorbed in project costs. Depending on the significance of the residuals, you may consider updating the labor rate and recosting.
