Payroll Detail Posting – a new feature in GP 2010
10/22/11GP 2010 introduced Payroll Detail Posting, a new feature that makes getting general ledger (GL) distribution information easier and helps users determine which codes posted correctly or incorrectly.
When you enable this feature, GL distribution data created when you post payroll checks contains information about the payroll code used to create the distribution. You can now use this information in reports and see it in your GL transaction.
There are multiple items that will generate a variety of entries in the GL transaction. After posting this payroll, the data in the payroll distribution history will reflect these line items.
You can use SmartList Builder or another reporting tool to create reports from the Payroll Distribution History tables. For example, you could create pivot tables that allow you to analyze the data by code.
Now that you know how the detail information can be reported and how the GL entry looks after it has been created, let’s set up the system to provide this detail.
Go to Microsoft Dynamics GP menu >> Tools >> Setup >> Posting >> Posting. Select “Payroll” for the Series and “All” for the Origin.
Mark the option “Post in Detail.” Note that the option will display as unchecked once you have saved the setting. However, when you look at Computer Checks as the Origin, the checkbox will be marked, albeit unavailable for editing.
