Linking Journal Types to GL Groupings

To link journal types to GL groupings, use the Journal Type NZL (GPNZ_GL_GROUP) component.

You report payroll data to the general ledger by journal type by linking a journal type to a general ledger grouping.

A grouping comprises entry types of earnings, deductions, or segment accumulators. There are five delivered journal types: Accrual, Salary, Employee Entitlements, Statistical, and Terminated Ee's (employee's) Entitlement.

Accrual and Entitlement are processed the same way as are Salary and Statistical. So you can choose to use only three of the supplied journal types.

Note: The Leave Entitlements Application Engine selects data for inclusion into the GPNZ_LEAVE_LIAB record (from GP_GL_DATA) by the flags for journal types Employee Entitlement and Terminated EE's Entitlement. Therefore, any organization needing to resolve leave entitlement calculations within the Leave Entitlement phase of the GL Interface process needs to select a journal type for each GL grouping code associated with GL Liability earnings codes.

The following table shows an example setup. Columns 1 and 2 are from the core Element Groupings page GP_GL_GROUP. Set Up HCM > Product Related > Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt > Element Groupings > Integration > Element Groupings > Element Groupings. Column 3 is from the Journal Type NZL page GPNZ_JOURNAL_TYPE Set Up HCM > Product Related > Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt > Integration > Journal Type NZL.
