GPMY_JOURNAL_TYPE

Attach one journal type to each general ledger group.

You report payroll data to the general ledger by journal type by linking a journal type to a general ledger grouping.

Link journal types to groupings on the Journal Type page. A grouping comprises entry types of earnings, deductions, or segment accumulators. The five delivered journal types are salary, accrual, employee entitlements, statistical, and terminated EE's entitlement (terminated employee's entitlement).

Note: The Leave Entitlements Application Engine process selects data for inclusion in the GPMY_LEAVE_LIAB record (from GP_GL_DATA) by the flags for the journal types employee entitlement and terminated EE's entitlement. Therefore, any organization that needs to resolve leave entitlement calculations that are within the leave entitlement phase of the GLI process needs to select a journal type for each general ledger grouping code that is associated with general ledger liability earning codes.
