When you calculate on-cycle or off-cycle payroll, Workday generates:
  • Payroll results.
  • Accounting entries in
    Draft
     status.
For regular, on-cycle runs, it also creates accrual and accrual reversal entries, based on the accrual dates of the period schedule.
After you correct accounting errors, you can generate new accounting entries without recalculating payroll.
You can generate new accounting entries for:
  • An individual payroll result using the
    Pay Calculation
    Accounting
     related action.
  • An entire pay group or pay run group.
