Payroll

Background:We have UKG Ready for Time & Attendance (old Kronos) We have UKG Pro for Payroll (old UltiPro) We have IDI Contractor Central for job costing, prevailing wage, and certified jobs We use cost over cost (input method) accounting for revenue recognitionProblem: what is the best method for accounting for labor costs and payroll costs in Acumatica?Solution 1:Feed timesheet and payroll data to IDI. Have IDI calculate fully burdened project labor costs. Upload project labor costs from IDI to Acumatica in an off balance account group that doesn’t hit the G/L Upload direct labor payroll and benefit costs from UKG Pro to Direct Labor accounts as journal transactions, NOT project transactions. Upload indirect labor payroll and benefits costs from UKG Pro to SG&A via journal transactions.Solution 2:Feed timesheet data (including project / task) to UltiPro

Employees work for different Customers in different states.  Some of these customers are responsible to handle the workers compensation for the employees who work at their location(s).  Is there a proper setup or best practice for this? 

For all field employees, the client must add every project’s work location to their Employee Payroll Settings.  After a Project/Job is completed, is it safe to remove the Work Location from the Employee Payroll Settings or will the missing work location cause issues when running any certified or payroll reports?

Please review prior topic:  ACA reports are now available in Government Reporting and Known Issues topic:  Multiple ACA Reporting issuesIf you have any questions, please contact your Acumatica support provider. Thank you, Denise 

We are very new to Acumatica and going live in January.  Because of the volume of new installs, we couldn’t get consultation to setup the PR system.  So please forgive the basic nature of these questions. I’ve run a full PR cycle with actual hours and the results were very impressive.  With the exception of the local LST and EIT not calculating the 1% or 1.00 per week.  I’ve updated taxes, assigned to employees, even manually adjusted without success. On top of this after restoring a bu to rid the db of the pr cycle, I no longer have the “+” sign to add a PR/DD cycle. Any help is appreciated.  2020R1 204 version. Thank you

Acumatica’s payroll tax set up does not allow for the entry of the mandatory SOC codes. Is anyone else needing to report to Indiana?

Anyone know if there is a way to print or view a report/inquiry of the GL posting of a payroll check before it is released?  I keep getting a G/L out of balance error when I go to release the check.  Not finding any answers in knowledgebase or general community search.  Any ideas are greatly appreciated.  Is there a good point person from Acumatica to ask payroll questions of or is this the best place to post questions of this type? Thanks Kathy

May I know when integration of an Information System and Acumatica ERP is happened in what system we maintain the master data specifically for the areas of payroll and Employee Information Management?
