Duplicate Payroll Journals posted for the same Run and Warrant



Description of Issue

Payroll Journal has posted to the GL multiple times for the same run and warrant number. 



Context
  • Payroll Processing 

  • GL Distribution Journal

  • General Ledger



Cause

After the GL Distribution Journal step of the Payroll, the Employee Update was reversed and re-run, then the GL Distribution step was completed again.



Resolution

Reversing the Employee Update does not reverse the Journal Posting.  It does however restart the step to 'not completed'. The only reason the GL Distribution step would need to be completed again is if after the Employee Update was reversed there were changes that impact the GL. 

To confirm the GL Distribution Journal Step was posted multiple times:

  1. Review Global Audit Inquiry (Human Capital Management > Payroll > Payroll Administration > Global Audit Inquiry)

  2. Click Search and enter the Run and Warrant number for the payroll you are reviewing 

  3. Click Accept

  4. Review records to determine if GL Distribution Journal Finished appears twice.

If the GL Journal has been posted twice, the duplicate journal entries can be reversed in the Financial module.
