This chapter provides an overview of data flow between PeopleSoft Enterprise HRMS and PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials and describes how to:
Run payroll processes.
Run the predistribution audit report.
Run actuals distribution process.
Modify actuals distribution prior to general ledger posting using the actuals distribution component.
View and modify suspense combination code actuals transactions.
View summaries of actuals distribution.
Run the commitment accounting actuals GL interface process.
Modify actuals distribution after GL posting.
Prepare and run the gross fringe report.
When you process a payroll, you are liquidating your encumbrances with actual earnings, benefits, and tax expenses. This actuals information needs to be posted to PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials to update the actuals and encumbrance information that is stored there. Before posting actuals information, distribute actuals across the funding sources that you've established on the Department Budget component (DEPT_BUDGET). Then post actuals to PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials using the Actuals GL Interface process (PAYGL02).
The following diagrams illustrate how the data moves from PeopleSoft Enterprise HRMS to PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials. If you are using PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials for Education and Government, you’ll transfer actuals data to the PeopleSoft Enterprise General Ledger ledgers. If you are using core PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials, you’ll transfer encumbrance data to the PeopleSoft Enterprise General Ledger and Commitment Control ledgers.

Option 4: Using the Department Budget Table Component
It's important to understand how the PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll for North America processes fit into the framework of managing commitment accounting. When you process a payroll, you can automatically update your budgets. When you update your budgets, you liquidate your encumbrances with actual earnings, benefits, and tax expenses and then you post them to your general ledger.
PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll for North America includes the following basic payroll processes:
Contract Additional Pay
Paysheets
Pay Calculation
Pay Confirmation
After you run the Pay Confirmation process for each pay period, run the Actuals Distribution process. This process distributes actual earnings, deductions, and taxes across the funding sources you've established and notifies you when you've exceeded any budget amounts specified on the Department Budget pages.
The earnings, deductions, and taxes are also distributed across accounting calendars in cases when a pay period spans more than one accounting period. This Actuals Distribution process (PSPPFUND) is described in detail in the following section.

To run the Predistribution Audit report, use the Predistribution Audit Report component (HP_RUN_PREDIST).
This section explains how to run the Predistribution Audit report.

HP_RUNCTL_PDAUDIT |
|
The Predistribution Audit report audits payroll and configuration data and identifies any errors that could be encountered when you run the Actuals Distribution or Actuals GL Interface processes. Note. Run the Predistribution Audit report after you’ve run the Paysheet Create process, but before running the Actuals Distribution process. |
Access the Predistribution Audit Report page.
Pay Run ID |
Select the pay run ID of the pay run you will audit. |
General Audit |
Select to have the system verify that department budgets have been set up for the transactions in the selected pay run. |
Specific Employer paid Earning/Deduction/Tax Codes |
Select to have the system verify that department budgets have been set up for specific Earnings/Deductions/Tax codes for the transactions in the selected pay run. |
Audit Project/Grant |
Select to have the system verify that the project/grant ChartField specified in the combination code is valid. The system uses the project ChartField value from the ChartField Transaction Table component (ACCT_CD_TBL) to read the Project Table component (PROJECT). |
This section provides an overview of the Actuals Distribution process and how the system finds funding sources and discusses how to:
Run the Actuals Distribution process.
Run the Actuals Dist/TL Extract process.
The Actuals Distribution process (PSPPFUND) distributes actual earnings, employer deductions, and employer taxes across the funding sources you've established and notifies you when you've exceeded any budget amounts specified on the Department Budget component or when a transaction lacks funding. If your pay period isn't fully contained within a single accounting period, the process also distributes earnings, employer deductions, and employer taxes across accounting periods using the calendar information on the Detail Calendar.
The Actuals Distribution process allocates transactions without funding sources or adequate funding to the department budget’s suspense combination code. View these transactions and specify a new combination code on the Review Suspense ComboCode Dist component (HP_PYCHK_DIST_SUSP).
The system processes transactions that exceed their budget cap so long as the funding source has the Allow Overspend check box selected on the Department Budget component. The process generates a warning for these transactions.
After running the Actuals Distribution process, modify actuals distribution using the Review Actuals Distribution component (PAYCHECK_DIST).
To post actuals to your general ledger system, including any changes you make on the Review Actuals Distribution component, run the Actuals GL Interface process.
This section discusses how the system finds funding sources for:
Earnings
Employer-paid deductions and taxes.
Where the system looks for funding information depends on whether you are using PeopleSoft Enterprise Time and Labor distribution:
Customers Using Time and Labor Distribution |
Customers Not Using Time and Labor or Time and Labor Distribution |
If you are using PeopleSoft Enterprise Time and Labor and are using time and labor distribution information when determining actuals funding sources:
|
If your system doesn't find any task information, or if you opt not to use time and labor distribution information:
|
See Using Time and Labor with Commitment Accounting.
See Integrating with Payroll for North America.
See Option 4: Using the Department Budget Table Component.
See Adding Organizational Instances for Employees, Contingent Workers, and POIs.
See Classifying Jobs.
Employer-Paid Deductions and Taxes Funding Sources
For employer deductions and employer taxes, the system looks for a combination code specified on:
The person's Job Data - Payroll page.
If it can't find a combination code there, the process then looks at the Dept Budget Deduction page (DEPT_BUDGET_DED) and Dept Budget Taxes page (DEPT_BUDGET_TAX or DEPT_BUDGET_CTX).
If there is no combination code on the Dept Budget Deduction or Dept Budget Taxes pages, then the Actuals Distribution process can’t distribute the actuals and no general ledger transactions are created for that department when you run the Check Actuals Posting process.
See Budgeting for Employer-Paid Taxes.
Access the Actuals Distribution page.

To run the commitment accounting actuals GL Interface process, use the Commitment Accounting Actuals component (RUN_PAYGL02).
Like the Encumbrance GL Interface (PAYGL03) the Actuals GL Interface process (PAYGL02.SQR) prepares actuals transactions (expenses and liabilities) to be published to the general ledger. This process also liquidates encumbered amounts to reflect that the actuals for that pay period have been processed. All processed transactions are reflected on the Dept Budget Actuals page.
Run the Actuals GL Interface process once per pay period, after you've completed all manual updates to the defaulted labor (expense) distributions.
Processing Retroactively Modified Checks
If you have modified the funding sources of a paycheck or group of paychecks, use the Actuals GL Interface process to update the general ledger with the changes. The Actuals GL Interface process processes all regular checks for a given pay calendar ID and then searches for any checks that have been modified retroactively. The system combines corrected entries with entries from the current payroll.
The Actuals GL process will not update the pay calendar when it processes a run made up of only retroactively modified checks. It will update the pay calendar when the process is made up of both new and retroactively modified checks.
