JOURNALIZE LABOR (PRE-PAYROLL)#
Processing Information#
Labor costs may be sent to the G/L system on a regular (daily, weekly, bi weekly etc.) or ‘on demand’ basis prior to the pay being calculated. Labor G/L processing (UPLG) takes place after the payroll batch has been entered into Personality system.The payroll batch can be generated by UPTR (from pay transactions), UPTG (system generated) or manually entered on the IPPH form. Labor G/L can process payroll batches that have been audited by the UPAUDT process or to optionally include un-audited pay lines to obtain labor costs on a timely basis.
For testing the G/L set up and balancing, it is recommended that Labor G/L be processed for one batch at a time.
Labor G/L may take place prior to auditing a batch (set the Include Unaudited Transactions lexicon to ‘Yes’) and Labor G/L may be run in update or trial mode (set the Trial lexicon to ‘Yes’).
If Labor G/L is run in trial mode (in order to check the results) and the G/L Interface (UPGLF) is run in update mode, the journal entries will be updated to permanent journal entries.
On the IDGA form, the G/L account must have the ‘Pre Payroll’ toggle on in order to be processed by Labor G/L. Labor G/L does not balance Gross to Net and Deductions. The earnings that are to be journalized will be balanced against the G/L Account that has been set up with the Labor Clearing account usage in the G/L Accounts (IDGA) form.
The process for running Labor G/L is as follows:
- UPAUDT
- to audit transactions to be journalized
- UPLG
- in Trial or Update mode
- RPGL
- to view results of UPLG
- UPGLF
- to create the interface file
- when run in Trial, use to test results
- when run in non-Trial if UPLG is not run in Trial mode, use to commit journal entries and mark the Pay Lines as ‘Journalized'
