Setting Up System Control to Work with Payroll

Closing controls determine whether you must close a subsystem period before the general ledger period. If you select PR in the System field and Yes in the Control field, you will need to run Payroll Period Close (PR196) to close the payroll period in order for the corresponding GL accounting period to be closed.

  1. Access System Control (GL01.1).
  2. Specify this information:
    System

    Select PR.

    Control

    Select Yes.

    Valid Entry Dates

    Type the current valid dates that Payroll Close (PR197) should edit against. These dates should correspond to an open GL period.

    Open Periods

    Optional. Type the number of open periods if the valid entry dates should be advanced when the PR period close
