Title: Pay categories per division
Post by cathyh on 08/11/08 at 14:07:05

I have made a mess...
We have employees set up since we collect labor. We did a quick setup for divisions when we started.
We are now trying to implement Payroll.
I changed the divisions around in the payroll defaults (PR-M) to match the way we order them in our General Ledger. The GL accounts for each division were changed. In PR-A, when I look at the Pay categories by employee, the GL accounts are the old ones. It is quite an undertaking to fill these in one by one. Is there another way I can populate employee record with the correct GL's for their division (which I would like to keep the way I changed them)?

Does anyone have an answer for me?

Actually, the account numbers that are in the payroll setup per employee often contain random bogus account numbers- not sure where they came from. I have 45 employees that have to be changed.
I looked for this info in maintain database and could not find the file that has these settings. Does anyone know which one it is?

Help!

It appears that when an employee division is changed by editing the enter employee entry screen that the new division's general ledger accounts are not automatically picked up. In other words the former division G/L accounts remain in place. Is this correct? If so, what is the simpliest way to change the individual employees general ledger accounts to the new division default accounts?

I guess I am not the only one who has noticed this.

You can manually change them in PR-A. If you are just startning up payroll and don't have any pay history, you could also delete and re-enter the employees but that is just about as much work.

Thanks for answering, Lynn. I decided to go ahead with changing them in PR-A and it didn't take as long as I thought it would. I didn't think I could delete the employees because they are used in Data Collection, so I did not try that.

Now if I could just get an answer to my other question about how to set up vacation accrual-- I guess what I will do is set it up one way, Expense account in Payroll defaults, and liability in the employee record, and see what happens.

The vacation accrual just keeps track of hours, it does not actually accrue dollars
