ACCURAL_METHOD determines how to derive the accrual factor used in calculating end-of-month payroll accruals in the Payroll GL Process (UPGL).

• The ‘Calendar Days’ method calculates the payroll accrual factor by dividing the number of calendar days that have not been accounted for in the month by the number of calendar days in a standard pay period.
• The ‘Working Days’ method calculates the payroll accrual factor by dividing the number of working days that have not been accounted for in the month by the number of working days in a standard pay period.
