Accrual Program (PR195)

Run Accrual Program (PR195) to create auto-reversing general ledger entries in the GL Interface file when a payroll period spans two accounting periods.

Processing Effect

If you use the Lawson General Ledger system, the auto-reversing indicator allows posting to the general ledger in the current period with a reversal in the next accounting period when you post the actual entries for the payroll cycle. The program creates entries for wages as well as company-paid payroll taxes.

More Information

You must run PR140 (Earnings and Deductions Calculation) before you run PR195 with report selection P (Percent). The program multiplies the calculations for wages and company payroll taxes by the percent entered in PR195, to determine the accrual.

With report selection D (Days), you can run PR195 outside a payroll cycle. When you use report selection D (Days), you must enter the number of days to accrue for each pay frequency and salary class.

Eight-hour working days are assumed for the calculation. In order to perform the accrual for salaried employees, an hourly rate is determined by dividing the annual salary, by the annual hours times the FTE (Full Time Equivalent) factor, based on the employee's job code or the annual hours on HR11.1 (Employee), if entered. For employees not associated with a job code, the program uses the annual hours defined for the company in the calculation.

With report selection T (Time Records), you also must run PR140 before you run PR195. You can type a date in the Time Record Date field to use as selection criteria for accruals based on specific time records.
