Non-Lawson Payroll Labor Cost Transfers (GM171)

Run Non-Lawson Payroll Labor Cost Transfers (GM171) to use labor cost transfer templates to reallocate expense distributions for payroll wages and, optionally, employer-paid expenses to other grant activities and/or general ledger accounts (departments) if you process your payroll with a non-Lawson payroll system.

You use labor cost transfer templates to redistribute labor costs after-the-fact when situations such as effort certification discrepancies, salary caps, changes in funding status, or changes in employee status require that you reallocate expense distributions.

GM171 allows only one post date. You may want to create templates containing start and end dates that align with and General Ledger calendars. For example, a labor cost transfer template covers the period from May 1 through July 17. You specify a start date range on GM171 which includes May 1 and an end date range which includes July 17. GM171 will process and reallocate labor costs associated with the template. However, all redistributions will post to the date specified on GM170. If you want redistributions to post to May, June, and July respectively, you must create three templates instead of one (one template for May 1 - May 31, another for June 1 - June 30, and a third for July 1 - July 17).
