PRDSTSCN Payroll PR Distribution to G/L Report
PR Distribution To G/L Report
Application Overview
The PR Distribution to G/L application produces a report of the General Ledger entries generated by the Payroll package during a specified period and optionally purges the Distribution file for the period specified.
The report may be obtained in detail or in summary.
Detailed Report
Each distribution of regular, overtime, special, vacation, holiday, sick and supplemental pay made during payroll transaction processing or manual payroll transaction processing, is shown by account number, as well as all amounts automatically posted for taxes, deductions, additional earnings and cash. The account numbers for these automatic postings are obtained from the Employee file (wage account and union deductions account), Deduction/Earning Code file, State/City Tax Code file, and Payroll Setup.
Employee, check number, check date and amount distributed are shown for each transaction.
Account totals and grand totals are printed.
Summary Report
Total distribution per day per Distribution account is printed. Account totals and grand totals are printed.
Period Starting and Ending Date
All distributions entered for transactions on or after the period starting date and on or before the period ending date will be printed. Transactions with dates later than the period ending date are not printed or purged but are kept on file. The period ending date is associated with the response to check date or period end date response when the check posting procedure was performed.
Interfacing to the General Ledger
Manual Entry
Obtain a Distribution Report with a period ending date the last day of the accounting period (or the period to be posted).
You can make a summary entry of each Distribution account to the General Ledger. However, if transactions exist which have dates in previous periods, they must be manually separated and entered with a date within that accounting period. This is to ensure that financial statements run for previous periods are correct.
After the correct Distribution report is obtained, purge the Distribution file. This will clear all transactions shown on the report from the file. Purging will not affect transactions on file dated after the period ending date.
Automatic Interface
The automatic interface is run from the General Ledger package. Do not purge the Distribution file if the interface will be run. Once you are ready to interface the Payroll package with the General Ledger package, you will run General Ledger and select the appropriate application. You have the option of purging the file during the interface or purging it later from the Payroll package.
A distribution report may be obtained at any time. However, it cannot be rerun if a purge has been done for that period.
