GPSG_JOURNAL_TYPE

Attach one journal type to each general ledger grouping.

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. There are five delivered journal types: Salary, Accrual, Employee Entitlements, Statistical and Terminated EE's (employee's) Entitlement.

Note: The Leave Entitlements Application Engine selects data for inclusion into the GPSG_LEAVE_LIAB record (from GP_GL_DATA) by the flags for journal types Employee Entitlement and Terminated EE's Entitlement. Therefore, any organization needing to resolve leave entitlement calculations within the Leave Entitlement phase of the GL Interface process needs to select a journal type for each GL grouping code associated with GL Liability earnings codes.

The following table is an example set up:
