Fields & buttons
Create payroll journal entry (in the General Ledger module). To write a GL transaction when you close the Payroll Check Entry window or print checks in Payroll CS, mark this checkbox. The following options are accessible only if this checkbox is currently marked.
Summary versus Detail. To record individual checks as GL transactions when you close the Payroll Check Entry window or print checks in Payroll CS, choose the Detail option. Otherwise, only a summary entry will be written to the Transactions window in the General Ledger module.
Notes
- If you choose the summary format (which will export one summary transaction for all payroll checks per checkbook), you can use the default reference of P89 or enter a new reference using up to nine alphanumeric characters. Exporting a summary transaction into the General Ledger means that no bank reconciliation will be available for the payroll checks.
- If you choose the detail format, the checkbook description for the payroll transactions for the export must exactly match that of the corresponding checkbook in Write-Up CS or Trial Balance CS.
- If you are switch from summary to detail (or vice versa), you will need to regenerate the payroll journal entries. To do this, choose Edit > Regenerate Payroll Journal Entries from the Payroll Check Entry window.
Prompt for posting date. To have the application prompt you to enter a posting date for the GL transaction when you close the Payroll Check Entry window or print checks in Payroll CS, mark this checkbox.
Enter any non-check, non-balancing entry reference (defaults to P89). This reference is used for the summary payroll transactions written to the GL in the Transactions window.
Enter any non-check, non-balancing entry reference. This reference is used for journal entries made when EPS files are created in the Impound Funding dialog.
Enter the account number (such as 999) to use as the default for any undistributed amounts, or select it from the drop-down list.
Defaults to the General Journal. If you have elected to use multiple journals for this client (by marking the Use separate journal in transaction data entry checkbox in the General Ledger tab of the Client Properties dialog and have set up journals by choosing Setup > Journals), specify the journal to use for payroll transactions by selecting it from the drop-down list.
