Payroll Process that Reverses the Subledger Accounting

Reverse Transfer to Subledger Accounting process reverses the payroll subledger accounting entries posted in final mode with the Create Accounting process.

Complete the following steps to reverse the payroll costing entries and unlock the payroll cycle:
  • Submit the Reverse Transfer to Subledger Accounting process to generate entries to cancel the original accounting entries.
  • Resubmit Create Accounting process in final accounting mode to post the entries to the general ledger (GL) and cancel the original accounting entries in GL.

You can use this process to correct or complete payroll processes earlier in the payroll cycle, such as when you accidentally submit the Create Accounting in final mode before all the payroll processing is complete.

Submit the Reverse Transfer to Subledger Accounting process for each payroll process that generated costing results. For example, you originally submitted Create Accounting for the regular semi-monthly payroll run and all quickpays for the 31-August period. You can reverse the costs for the semi-monthly payroll run and the costs for the quickpay processes aren't be impacted.

Note: If the Reverse Transfer to Subledger Accounting is run for a payroll run, it also reverses the retro costing and cost adjustments associated with the corresponding payroll run.
