E6.0  INVALID ACCOUNTS

Note:  This file should be printed landscape with .05 left and right margins.

Sometimes pay transactions, expense transfers, or overpayments are processed and are included on the Payroll Expense Distribution but are not included on the general ledgers. They are not included because the transactions contain information that cause the entry to be "invalid". The following would cause invalid entries:

When a transaction becomes invalid, the information will still appear on the PPP5302 Distribution of Payroll Expense. The amounts of the expense will not be included in the totals of the department's General Ledger. Instead, the information can be found on an Invalid Account Report.

Two reports are available to the department on Document Direct/RDS:

The department is responsible for reviewing the reports and making the corrections.

The FSO323 report shows an accumulation history of invalid transactions. Account/cc/fund information along with the PPP5302 date and error message are shown for each transaction listed on the FSO323. When corrections are processed, the correction transaction will display on the PRS469 but may not display on the FSO323 if the correction processed is for the exact amount of the original invalid transaction.

For example, on the PRS469 report shown above, there are three transactions displayed. Two of them also display on the FSO323 shown above because they are new invalid transactions for the current month. Because the expense transfer transaction (TR code of E1) for Anna Audit displayed on the PRS469 is a correction transaction which clears out invalid account 4-402101-61102-2, the correction does not appear on the FSO323.

The following information can be found on the FSO323 report:

E6.3  Correcting Invalid Transactions

When correcting invalid transactions for salary expense, it is helpful to compare the FSO 323 to the PRS469 report and the corresponding PPP5302.  The errors can be grouped into three types and the correction(s) required vary with each type.

  1. Errors from an EDAT Transaction - If the mistake is on an Expense Transfer (E1 or E3), or other Department Adjustment Transactions (AP, FT, LX, RA, or RX), process an on-line payroll expenditure transfer using either the Single Transfer (EDTS) or the Mass Expense Transfer (EDTM) function to transfer the salary expense to the correct account/cc/fund/sub.

    At the PAN screens, include in the comments that the expense transfer is to correct an invalid transaction and then add Payroll Services as a carbon copy recipient of the PAN.
  2. Errors from Automatic Payments and/or Roster Transactions - If the mistake is directly from an automatically paid transaction (AU) or from a roster transaction (TX or TE), it is necessary for the EDB preparer to correct the account/cc/fund/sub on-line on the EAPP screen and for the PTR preparer to process an on-line payroll expenditure transfer to transfer the salary expense to the correct account/cc/fund.

    At the PAN screens, include in the comments that the transaction was processed to correct an invalid account and then add Payroll Services as a carbon copy recipient of the PAN.
  3. Errors from Handdrawns, Overpayments or Rush Checks - If the mistake is from a Handdrawn (H), Overpayment (O), or Rush Check (R) transaction, consult Payroll Services prior to processing a correction. Handdrawn, Overpayment, and Rush Check transactions require Payroll Services intervention. If you believe the department’s original transaction was entered correctly, and the mistake was made by Payroll Services, we will correct it.

    However, if the mistake occurred on the original transaction processed by the department, the department will be responsible for processing the on-line payroll expenditure transfer to transfer the salary expense to the correct account/cc/fund/sub; including in the comments that the transaction was processed to correct an invalid account; and adding Payroll Services as a carbon copy recipient of the PAN.

When invalid account adjustments are processed, benefit amounts may not clear even though the salary expense has zeroed. This happens when the entry that is being cleared is old, the date to process a Single Transfer or Mass Expense Transfer on-line has expired, and it was necessary to submit the paper form UPAY 646-4. If this type of charge appears on your FSO, contact Payroll Services and we will clear these remaining balances to where the corresponding salary expense was charged.

Benefit adjustments are processed by Payroll Services on financial journals. Invalid account adjustments will appear on your general ledger with journal numbers 900 through 910. The object code generally used to clear all benefits expense by Payroll Services is 8291. 8292 or 8293 may also be used if Payroll Services can determine that one of those codes would be more appropriate than 8291.

If you have any questions on invalid accounts or need any assistance when processing corrections, please contact Payroll Services.
