How to modify accrual dates in Earnings and Deductions





Description of Issue
  • When I enter accruals manually into earnings and deductions, the dates always match the start and end dates of the pay period when it hits employee accruals. I would like to be able to modify those dates to the used time hits the specific day it's used.

  • Wrong dates transferring to accrual history from a Payroll warrant



Context
  • Munis

  • Payroll Earnings and Deductions

  • Payroll Control Settings

  • Accrual Summary



Cause




Resolution
  1. Access Payroll Control Settings (Payroll > Payroll Setup > Payroll Control Settings)

  2. Scroll to the GENERAL Category

  3. Double-click on SHOW ACCRUAL SCREEN IN EDFM Label

  4. Click Update, change the Value field to Y, click Accept

Now when enter an accrual pay directly into Earnings and Deductions, after adding the pay, the Accrual Summary screen will be displayed:

  1. Click Update

  2. Modify the dates as need be and click Accept



Additional Information

Note that a user may access Accrual Summary by putting cursor on the pay line on the Pay tab in Earnings and Deductions, then click on Accrual Summary in the ribbon.  This will show the period accrual records in the payroll.
