Deductions are posting to the wrong Project Ledger String

Deductions are posting to the wrong Project Ledger String

Description of Issue

Deduction history has the wrong project ledger string attached.  

Context
  • Enterprise ERP Payroll

  • Deduction and Benefit Master

Cause

If the deduction is posting to the same project ledger string as the pay or isn't posting at all, the Project Ledger Expense Overrides screen is defined incorrectly in the Deduction Master

Resolution
  1. Navigate to Payroll>Payroll Setup>Deduction and Benefit Master.

  2. Search on any Deduction code and click Accept.

  3. Click Project Ledger Exp menu option.

  4. Scroll to affected deduction code, select Update and check the Expense box and define any segments that should override salary PL string.

  5. Click Accept.

Additional Information

If the Expense box is unchecked, the PL string from the pay will not apply to the deduction expense.  If the Expense box is checked, the PL string will apply to the deduction expense and any defined segments will override the pay PL string account.
