Help:PY1-Department GL Accounts Maintenance
This window titled Department G/L Accounts File Maintenance is used to add Departments and the appropriate general ledger account numbers for each of your Departments to the Department G/L Accounts File. After setting up each of your departments in the Department Name File (PY1D14.TPS), you must then use the Department File®Department G/L Accounts option on the File Pull-Down Menu and add each department to the Department G/L Accounts File (PY1D04.TPS). The Department G/L Accounts File contains the general ledger accounts which control the posting of the various tax withholdings.
IMPORTANT: Each Department within each Payroll Account must be set up in this Department G/L Accounts File with the appropriate general ledger accounts for each of the various taxes. Otherwise, the system cannot properly record the various tax withholding amounts in the general ledger system.
Please note also that the Department Name File and the Department G/L Accounts File are two separate data files. It is possible to set up a Department in the Department Name File and then assign that Department to different Payroll Accounts within the Department G/L Accounts File which will post to different general ledger accounts based on the Payroll Account. For instance, your "General Department" for Payroll Account #1 can post to different general ledger accounts than your "General Department" for Payroll Account #2. This feature simply allows more user-defined flexibility within your payroll system.

If this field is highlighted, then press the Tab Key to begin the display. NOTE: Each department must first be "added" to this Department G/L Accounts File before the department will display in this window.
