Document Type T6 - Payroll Accruals and Deferrals

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system enables you to specify an accrual factor for transition pay periods instead of using the cost-period option of creating payroll journal entries. This feature enables you to use the accrual factor to accrue a portion of payroll expenses in the previous month and defer the expense to the next month. Prior period entries are made to the last day of the prior accounting period.

The journal entry types for T6 are the same as those for T2s and T3s.

The system creates journal entries for document-type T6 during the payroll cycle. You enter the accrual factor (percentage) in the journal entries step of the payroll cycle.

The accrual entries have a general ledger date that is equal to the last date of the prior accounting period. The reference number is equal to the journal entry type plus the original general ledger date.

The deferred entries have a general ledger date that is equal to the date of the original entries.
