Understanding Payroll Pro Forma Journal Entries with Contract-Specific Labor Categories

When you process pro forma journal entries during the payroll cycle, the Generate Payroll Journal Entries program (R072902) creates a workfile (F05290) in which the journal entries are held until you review and then post them during the final update or as part of a daily post.

When creating the pro forma journal entries, the system uses the value in the Contract Labor Category field (JBLC) on the timecard to update the Job Type (JBCD) field in the workfile. The JBLC field contains the actual job titles that are required on invoices submitted to the customer. If the JBLC field is blank, the system creates the pro forma journal entries using the value in the Job Type (JBCD) field on the timecard.

When you post the journal entries, the system:

• Updates the JBCD field in the Account Ledger table (F0911) with the value from the JBLC field or, if blank, the JBCD field in the workfile.

• Moves the value in the JBLC field from the processed timecards in the Employee Transaction Detail File (F06116) to the JBLC field in the Employee Transaction History table (F0618).
