Why is my Accounting date different than the Date I entered on time entries when I Generate Accruals in Payroll?

What is the Transaction date on PR entries I accrued and why is it different than the Accounting Date?

If you have a Date on your Time Entries and Generate Accruals, that date will become your Transaction Date in Job Cost.

The Accounting date on those entries will be either your Period End Date or the Accounting date you choose when you Generate Accruals.

If you want the Accounting date to be the Date on the Time Entries, generate Accruals daily. Use the Accounting date option and enter your Accounting date. Use the Condition option and use the Date condition to limit those entries which will be accrued.

If no date is selected all entries will be accrued with the accounting date you specify.

If there is no Date on the Time Entries, the Period End date will be the Transaction date you see in Job Cost.

If there is a Date on the Time Entries this date will be the Transaction date you see in Job Cost.

You can generate accruals daily before processing, after processing and after printing a check. If you do use an Automatic Overtime table, and want the OT hrs to be accrued, generate accruals after processing the payroll.

You can use the Check Information/Check Time inquiry to see the details for what has been accrued.

You can add Batch and Accounting date from the time record to see the batch number and accounting date used when you generated Accruals. You can also add the JC Update Flag, GL Update Flag, BL Update Flag and EQ Update flag to see which specific time entries were accrued. These fields are available from the Time records. The batch number on the Time record is the Generate accruals batch number.

The posting batch number will be on the Check record and you'll see this batch number on the current file. You will not see this on the new.prt.
