EFIN-74925 | Payroll liabilities may be tracked in the salary and benefit funds | On the Fund Accounting profile in the Balance Sheet Options section of the System Options tab, a new checkbox is added labeled Use Employee’s Charging Fund for Payroll Liabilities (Not Payroll Fund).” This allows the district to track payroll liabilities in the salary and benefit funds instead of the payroll fund. To use this option, the district must also select the profile option Print Checks by Bank. A single bank account must still be used to print payroll checks. When the Full Account flag is checked and and Fund Only = “N” and Additional Component for Balancing General Ledger is set and Use Employee’s Charging Fund for Payroll Liabilities is checked, then the liability account numbers for deductions and benefits will be based on the salary fund and the additional component, often the fund source, for deductions and the benefit fund. Also, the fund source for benefits along with the liability account code from deduction or tax table and as many other matching levels as exist. The cash account used for recording the liability also follows these rules. The liability charging occurs in the Fund Accounting interface, payroll manual checks, void checks, adjustment checks, and payroll redistribution. This update also impacts the liability and cash accounts for the batch accounts payable entries created during these processes. The Automated Payroll interface Edit Report and Posting verify that the liability accounts exist in the general ledger. When using this option, the district must not use the Net Pay option. |
EFIN-74705 | Validate the budget code on substitute timecards created by the SFE integration | When posting attendance records that were created by the SmartFind Express interface, the budget code will be validated when creating the substitute’s timecard record.
