In payroll transmittals, the journal refers to the place where the journal entry will be made in the general ledger. In some organizations, payroll transmittals are recorded in the CDPT (Cash Disbursements for Payroll Transmittals). However, your organization may use a different name for the CDPT journal.
Key components when posting transmittal detail to the CDPT journal:
Gross wages (for example, regular pay, overtime)
Employee payroll taxes (for example, FICA, unemployment)
Employee deductions (for example, health insurance, 401(k), taxes withheld)
Net pay (actual amount paid to employees)
