Department File and Journal Entries

 

Earnings Codes and Employer Tax Expense records in the department file store General Ledger Accounts used when you Post Expense to G/L.  When new earnings codes are used during payroll time ticket entry they are added to the department file based on the employee department. A General Ledger account is assigned to the new Earnings Codes based on entries in a table called GLDEP.  The General Ledger account automatically assigned will need to be updated in File Maintenance – Departments.
