Additional Information

This will only fix this issue in the payroll. If the account pulled from Employee Job/Salary then the user will want to make sure to fix the account or it will pull in incorrectly again.
Munis will build accounts using the pay's org and the deduction's object. It will do this with each of the pays as long as that pay is subject to that deduction. Pays are automatically subject to deductions in Munis unless they are set up as Exceptions. When the system goes to build the accounts, if they do not exist, you will get the error.
This error can also occur if there is a negative pretax deduction line added with an employee amount and no corresponding pay.
- Example: Deductions 7003 and 7201 are pretax deductions and there is no employer amount defined, only a negative employee amount so since this is pretax for an employee amount the system is trying to add it back into the deduction 3000 amounts and it needs to create an expense for this. Since the money for deduction 3000 is coming from a deduction code and not a pay, there is no account to create the expense for. This is why in the error message there is no account information. The FIX utility in the resolution above would need to be processed.
