Concept: Reviewing Payroll Accounting

When to Rerun Accounting Versus Recalculating Payroll

After you review and reconcile payroll calculations, you can rerun pay calculation and accounting as many times as needed to fix any payroll errors.

Recalculate the payroll result after making these changes:

Updating an earning definition.

Assigning an optional balancing worktag to a transaction.

Redefining an account posting rule.

Changing a worker's default organization to a different cost center or location.

Correcting a worker's cost center or other costing dimension.

Rerun pay accounting after fixing these errors:

Posting a special allowance to the wrong account.

Posting to an unopened ledger period.

You can use the

Fix Operational Journals with Errors

task to identify and fix payroll journals with accounting errors.

You can also use these reports to review your accounting results.

Report	Description
Payroll Accounting by Company/Period	Review created or posted entries to each ledger account for a company, including debit, credit, and net amounts. You can review entries by journal source and identify the journals in error.
Payroll Accounting by Period/Pay Group	Drill down line items in the accounting entries for selected periods and pay groups. The Accounting Status column identifies entries with errors. The report only displays accounting results based on the standard account set defined for the company.
Pay Calculation Results for Worker	Review detailed accounting lines for a worker on the Actuals and Other Accounting tabs. When you enable intercompany accounting, the Actuals tab displays journal lines for all relevant costing companies to which the worker's payroll was costed. The report only displays accounting results based on the standard account set defined for the company.
Payroll Accounting Transactions Preventing Period Closure	Identify open payroll accounting transactions for the ledger period you select.
Payroll Results with Outdated Accounting	Identity all payroll results that don't align with the corresponding accounting journals for a specific pay period.
