Adjust Payroll Costs

You process a cost adjustment to correct missing or incomplete account numbers after a payroll completes. If you allocated costs to different accounts, you can adjust the allocated amounts or percentages. The application uses the adjusted costing entry in reports or in later calculations.

Steps to Process a Cost Adjustment

1. Open the Adjust Cost for a Person window.

   Note: From the Process Results Summary task, select the Calculate Payroll process, find the person, choose Costing Results action and click the Adjust Cost for a Person button.

2. Select one or more rows in the Adjust Cost for a Person window to adjust.

   Note: If you Select multiple rows to adjust, the same costing adjustment will be made to each selected result.

3. Specify the corrected amount or percentage.

   Note: To allocate the cost to more accounts, add the accounts.

4. Complete the Transfer to Subledger Accounting.

5. Create Draft Accounting.

6. Create Final Accounting processes to distribute the costing results

You can locate the cost adjustment later by reviewing the list of cost adjustments on the payroll flow's Summary. Update the account information on the appropriate costing setup to apply the same adjustment in later payroll calculations.
