Additional Information

Accrual Fix Utility

The accrual fix utility was designed to accommodate for missing accrual summary records in Earnings and Deductions. Accrual summary records are what tell EERP to build accrual history records in employee accruals.

In older EERP version the Accrual Fix Utility had to be run prior to the Employee Update to make sure nothing was missed. In EERP Versions 11.3 and higher, this utility was built into the Earnings and Deductions Proof when the Final Proof is processed.Â
