How Do I Use the Transaction Processing Report?
The Non-Lawson Payroll Tran Import (GM500) Transaction Processing report shows the imported records processed and how labor distribution templates are applied. If there was a problem with the labor distribution template, one of the following messages appears. The error need not be corrected in order to complete processing.
| GM500 Message | Description |
|---|---|
| Labor distribution < 100%, transaction's account used |
When the template's salary percentages in approved lines total less than 100 percent, a distribution is created for each approved template line and the remainder of the record's earnings and hours is charged to the activity and general ledger account in the imported transaction. For example, the labor distribution template has three lines. Two lines are approved, each contains a salary percentage of 40 percent. The third line is unapproved and contains a salary percentage of 20 percent. Three distributions are created for an import record. The first two are created from the approved lines, charging 40 percent of earnings and hours to the activity and general ledger account in each template line. The third distribution is for the remaining 20 percent of earnings and hours, but since the template line is not approved, it is charged to the activity and general ledger account in the imported record. |
| No approved lines, transaction's activity/account used | A labor distribution template exists with an effective date on or earlier than the import record's transaction date, but when none of the template lines have an approved status, then the imported record's activity and account is used. |
| Labor distribution expired; transaction actvy/acct used | If the end date in a labor distribution template line is earlier than the imported record's transaction date, the template distribution line has expired. The distribution for the line reverts to the activity and general ledger account in the imported record. |
| No eligible labor distributions found; tran actvy/acct used | If no eligible labor distribution templates exist for the employee, or labor distribution templates are in the future with respect to the imported record's transaction date, one distribution is created using the activity and general ledger account in the imported record. |
| Effort pct used but not approved; actvy/acct used | If a template distribution line contains a planned effort percentage but the line status is not approved, the planned effort distribution for that line reverts to the activity and general ledger account in the imported record. |
| Effort pct < 100%; transaction activity/account used | If the planned effort percentages in the approved template lines total less than 100 percent, the remaining planned effort reverts to the activity and general ledger account in the imported record. |
