The Payroll Update module updates Payroll records in a specified date range. Applicable accruals of Holiday, RDO, Sick and Long Service Leave are also updated.
The Payroll update is usually run once a Pay Run is completed. Details of pays are flagged as updated and cannot be changed without being reversed.
If the General Ledger is activated Moveware also processes each Timesheet and validates each General Ledger code as it creates the General Ledger Journals. Any errors that are identified are displayed.
Note: The Pay Period end date is set according to the settings in the Payroll System Management window.
