How does Acumatica know what "Account Group" should use for Employee Timesheet and payroll posting?
Hello Community,
I see when employees enter their Time Activities using a Project => Task => Cost Code, Acumatica in the Project Cost Budget creates a line with the same info plus “Account Group” L. How does Acumatica know what Account Group should use?
Account group should be picked based on debit GL account.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Thanks @vkumar
What you are suggesting takes me here.
How this helps to determine the Account Group associated with the timesheets?
Its not here. I guess I figured it out. I think it is driven from Payroll Preferences. Then based on this preferences gets the GL Accounts from chosen Entities like Earning Type, Employee, Labor Item, … then from the GL Account associated with the Entities finds the Account Group. This is what I guess but I will need to test and verify it.
@aaghaei I think you figured it out … but just in case …
If you have payroll enabled ...
Set Payroll Preferences, Earnings Account
If Earning Type, then the system uses the GL Account from the Earning Types Codes, GL Accounts tab
If Employee, then the system uses the GL Account from the Employee Payroll Settings, GL Accounts tab
If Pay Group, then the system uses the Earnings Account from the appropriate line on the Pay Groups screen
If Labor Item, then the system uses the GL Account from the Non-Stock Item, GL Accounts tab
If Project or Project Task, then the system uses the information from the Project
If payroll is NOT enabled …
Set Project Preferences, Expense Account Source to either Labor Item or Employee
If Labor Item, then the system uses the GL Account from the Non-Stock Item, GL Accounts tab
If Employee, then the system uses the GL Account from the Employees, Financial tab
If Project or Project Task, then the system uses the information from the Project
