Computing payroll records

Before computing payroll records

Consider the following points:

• Job costs are created as part of the final compute of the payroll. At that time, however, neither the check number nor the accounting period of the check transaction is available. The job cost records are updated later with the check number when the check is printed. Then the accounting period and the ledger transaction link are updated when the check is posted to the general ledger.
• You can limit the compute to a specific pay period. In the Pay Period Ending text box, enter the date when the pay period ended.
• After the final-compute, verify that the records computed correctly. You can print a Payroll Check report, including the deductions, from 5-1-2 Payroll Check Register. After posting the payroll, you can print the report again when it includes the check numbers.
