The Payroll G/L Summary Update moves the summarized G/L information to the General Ledger.

This screen displays after the Payroll G/L Reports has been run.

The Payroll G/L history file is updated to store the G/L date, fiscal year, fiscal period, G/L code, company code, check number, employee code, check date, pay period date and the G/L transaction number that are updated during this procedure. The operator id of the person who performed the Payroll G/L update is also stored in this file.

"Balanced entry" protection is incorporated into this function to assure the General Ledger will stay in balance. If debits do not equal credits (such as due to a power failure or data error), the software will provide a special screen message and disallow update until the problem is corrected. Consult the support desk at Viewpoint for instructions if it is necessary to correct an out-of-balance error.
