1. Use File Tools to create a backup of your files.
2. Go to Payroll, Tasks, Generate Accrual Entries.
3. Select an accounting date option. This date is assigned to the entries generated for General Ledger, Job Cost, Billing, and Equipment Cost.
   • If you select Period ending date, the period end date on each check you accrue becomes the accounting date for the entries generated.
   • If you select Enter accounting date, enter the accounting date for the accrued entries.
4. If the new file contains multiple period end dates or time entries for a future period, use Conditions to limit the earnings that accrue. If you do not use any conditions, all new, processed, or printed time entries in the new file accrue.
   Note: Only use conditions based on the PR Time record.
5. Make any necessary print selections and click Start.
6. Review the accrual entry report.
   Note: If you calculate automatic pays before you generate accrual entries, the auto pays are included in the accrual unless you use a condition to exclude automatic pays. Examples of Automatic Pays are Cash Fringes for Certified payroll, Union Automatic pays such as Vac, and Other Pay type pays which calculate automatically on a check when you process payroll. When you enter the remainder of the time and reprocess checks, these automatic pays do not recalculate. If you are using Automatic Overtime, do not process any time until all days for period have been entered. See "How can I generate accruals for part of a pay period in Payroll? article link below.
