Use approved personnel facts in payroll
Prepare Acme's $2,000 project payroll through independent processing, approval and payment.
Updated
Continue the Acme case
The project includes $2,000 payroll. For this arithmetic exercise, approved gross payroll, total employer cost and paid amount are all $2,000; deductions and employer additions are zero training inputs. Real payroll requires its applicable company and jurisdiction configuration. The machine already has its October depreciation.
Role and prerequisites
Personnel changes are approved in Core before their dated facts reach payroll. The payroll preparer uses accepted employment, assignment and time information. Independent assigned authorities approve payroll and its payment in My work. Ordinary financial evidence access does not grant payroll or personnel document access.
Process and pay
- Check the authorised personnel action and effective assignment for the employee working on the project. Resolve missing or unapproved facts through Core's personnel process; do not invent a duplicate employee in payroll.
- Prepare the accepted compensation and October payroll period. Review the $2,000 calculation and its source facts. Record any supported override with its reason and effective scope.
- Use the supported period-processing workflow. Confirm one balanced payroll source journal: debit Payroll expense $2,000, credit Payroll payable $2,000 under Acme's accepted mapping.
- For the calculated entry, start or continue the settlement dossier. The assigned independent reviewer approves; a separate payment authority reviews the bank evidence and performs the permitted release decision.
- Confirm the paid entry and its ledger settlement: debit Payroll payable $2,000, credit Bank $2,000. Check the payment reference and bank reconciliation.
Verify the saved result
The payroll payable is zero, October payroll expense is $2,000 and Acme's bank balance is $21,000. The evidence reader without payroll scope must not see restricted pay or personnel documents. Repeating processing does not create another period posting.
Next, review tax evidence, then reconcile the full month. This tutorial does not replace Acme's payroll rules or authorise payment merely because a calculation is visible.
