How do I add a GL activity to a pay code? (Employee portion)
Link the employee portion of a pay code to a GL activity code to track and report the pay code amount. In version 2020.11 or earlier, linking a GL activity to a pay code meant adding by hand the GL activity code to a specific transaction. In version 2021.02 or later, you can add the GL activity code directly to the pay code so you can control which pay codes to include or exclude when you track amounts tied to a GL activity.
Before you get started
-
You will need to set up the GL activity in the General Ledger application. See How do I set up a new activity? (General Ledger)
-
You will also need to turn on the General Ledger interface in the Payroll application. See How do I set up activity reporting?
Adding a GL activity
1. Open Connect Payroll > Organization > Pay Codes.
2. Click to select the Employee tab > Employee tab.
Employee tab > Employee tab
