Payroll Processes that Generate Costing Results

Different payroll processes create costing results during the payroll cycle.

This table describes the payroll processes that generate costing entries.

Process

Action

Adjust Cost for a Person

Reallocates the amount or percentage of the cost results. Creates an offset entry for the original costing entry.

Calculate Costing of Payments

Calculates costing for prepayments, QuickPay prepayments, and external payments, void, canceled, unreconciled, and reconciled payments. .

Calculate Partial Period Accruals

Calculates accrual entries for a partial payroll period by

  • Prorating the costing results based on the previous results of a full period

  • Using the date of the Partial Period Accruals process as the accounting date

The process also creates reversal entries using the payroll period end date as the accounting date.

Calculate Payroll

Calculates payroll run results for payroll relationships and then costs these results.

Calculate QuickPay

Calculates costing for the payroll run results for a single payroll relationship.

Calculate Retroactive Costing

Recalculates costing based upon retroactive changes to costing setups. Compares the recalculated and original entries, and where different, offsets the original entries and creates new ones. The effective date of this process is the accounting date used when transferring results to general ledger.

Costing of Balance Adjustment

Calculates costing for the payroll run results of the Adjust Individual Balances process.

Create Draft Accounting

Creates journal entries that you can review and correct before transferring them to General Ledger.

Create Final Accounting

Creates final journal entries that Subledger Accounting transfers and posts to General Ledger.

Recalculate Payroll for Retroactive Changes

Calculates costing for retroactive changes that were excluded from the original payroll run, and records the difference found between the original entry and the retroactive result.

Reverse Payroll Calculation

Negates the costing results generated by the Calculate Payroll process by creating costing entries that offset the original entries. Uses the effective date of the reversal process as the accounting date to avoid creating entries for a closed accounting period. Creates an audit trail.

Transfer to Subledger Accounting

Creates Subledger Accounting events for cost transactions processed for each payroll relationship.
