General Ledger / Employee Department Assignment

We had two employees switch departments this week. Open payroll was completed. We then had to go into the employee's pay tab to change the GL accounts that open payroll did not change (for example vacation and sick accruals remained in the employee's old department). HRMS open payroll process seems incomplete and opens the door to potential errors for our business. 

  • Hi Pat, There are so many variables in the setup, it is hard to answer that question.  I would suggest reaching out to HRMS support. 

    In my test environment the Payroll GL integration Cost Center is set to Expense and Liability Accounts, Use Cost Center Overrides is selected and my earnings have a default G/L account selected (not every possible combination listed). I did a test of changing an employee's Division, running open payroll (see the change in Division) and it flowed through to the Employee Payroll > Cost Center tab.  It did not flow over the the G/L when I created a new timecard and ran calculate payroll.  Again, I would suggest reaching out to HRMS support to see if there is anything else in setup or if this is a manual change.  If it is manual, then I would suggest adding an enhancement in Sage City Ideas so other people can vote on it.
