Payroll General Preference

This preference gives you options for setting the number of decimal places to use for hours, rate, pieces, and tax percentages. This preference determines how CenterPoint will post payroll transactions to your General Ledger. Payroll transactions can post to the General Ledger in either Detail (employee detail for each check) or in Summary (no check detail). Additionally, it allows you to set the way a pay run is validated if a profit center/department is missing during processing and it allows a Profit Center pay run validation set to Required to be skipped if that earning is using an Account Distribution.

Select File > Preferences > Payroll >General.
Click the Database tab. Under Decimal places, set the number of decimal places for hours, rates, pieces, and tax percentages.
Under General Ledger Posting, determine how you want to post payroll transactions to your General Ledger. Payroll transactions can post to the General Ledger in either Detail (employee detail for each check) or in Summary (no check detail).
Under Pay Run Validation:
- In the Profit Center/Department box, select Required if you want to require that a profit center/department be entered on all pay run earning lines before the pay run be processed or select Warn If Missing if you want to be warned if a profit center/department is missing from a pay run earning line but continue to process the pay run. If you do not want to validate that a profit center/department was entered on pay run earning lines, leave the setting as Not Required.
- In the Skip Earnings Using an Account Distribution box, select Yes to skip the Profit Center/Department pay run validation preference set to Required for an earning using an Account Distribution.
