How Do Manual Adjustment Dates Affect the General Ledger?

When you create an adjustment, the date entered on and applied to the adjustment is the date applied to the adjustment in the General Ledger. The application does not apply the general ledger date on the payroll close to the adjustment.

If the dollars for the adjustment are already posted to the general ledger, you can delete the distributions for the adjustment so the distributions are not double-posted to the general ledger. If an out-of-balance condition occurs due to a change made to the entries, Payroll posts the difference to the error suspense account, which was originally created when you setup your company. You can also change distributions before posting to the general ledger.
