Scenario

You're a payroll administrator for Vision Corporation. Before you certify the current payroll run, you may want to know if the current gross earnings are in line with the previous payroll run.

The previous run verified the established levels of earnings that the company wants to maintain for the remainder of the quarter. Create a balance exception to find out if the current gross earnings exceeds the gross earnings of the previous period by a set amount, for example, more than 10 percent.

After you create the balance exception, create and run the Balance Exception Report to track the employee gross earnings for the current and previous payroll runs.
