Populating clearing transactions

Transactions in the GMDISTREL (Unix/Windows) or DBGMGDI (IBMi) file must be in balance by HR company. This ensures a balanced entry in General Ledger and triggers any necessary intercompany transactions. The clearing transaction (Record Type 6) identifies the offset record(s) required to balance GMDISTREL (Unix/Windows) or DBGMGDI (IBMi). Populate the clearing record with a negative amount. For example, if the wage records in the run group total $50,000, the clearing record should be ($50,000). You can have one clearing record per employee, or a summarized clearing record for the entire run group. Populate the clearing transaction with the salary offset account in the General Ledger company you create for the affiliate organization. Examples: Affiliate Payroll Posting
