General Ledger Posting (PR198)

Run General Ledger Posting (PR198) to post payroll distributions to General Ledger.

Note: This program can post distributions for more than one payroll cycle, so you do NOT need to run this program every time you run Payroll Close (PR197).

Processing Effect

PR198 finds open payroll distributions created by PR197 for the company, processing group, or process level you select on this form. PR198 posts the distributions to GL and closes them. If PR198 finds any error payroll distributions, you must correct the errors on PR70.

PR198 also posts AC and AP transactions.

More Information

In order for PR198 to create GL Interface File records, you must select Yes in the Create GL Transactions field when you set up the company in HR00.1 (Company). The program creates expense entries and company accrual entries using the general ledger date on PR197 (Payroll Close), and cash and employee accrual entries using the payment date in PR140 (Earnings and Deductions Calculation).
