                     Employee Payment Distribution

This file tracks the general ledger account information in more detail than
the GL Transaction File because it creates the account distributions for each
employee payment, whereas the GL Transaction File creates records by account
for all payments in a cycle. Creation of records in this file is optional
based on the selection you make in HR00.1 (Company).

The system creates two kinds of payroll distribution records, company
distributions and employee distributions. Company distributions include one
company clearing account record for each general ledger date (even if the
amount is zero), and an error suspense account record. The system creates
employee distributions for employee deductions, company deductions, and pay.
PR199 (Payroll Close) is the primary program that updates this file.

PRD-COMPANY          Numeric 4                                   PR199   PR82.1
Company              The company number represents an            PR82.2  PR85.1
                     established company and is entered on
                     all function codes.

PRD-EMPLOYEE         Numeric 9                                   PR199   PR82.1
Employee             Contains the employee number. Each          PR82.2  PR85.1
                     person employed by the company is
                     assigned a unique number. The system
                     uses the employee number to correlate
                     all of the information related to that
                     person.

PRD-CHECK-ID         Numeric 12                                  PR199   PR82.1
Internal Check ID    Contains the payment identification         PR82.2  PR85.1
Number               number. When the system creates a
                     distribution, the Employee Payment
                     Master payment identification number
                     moves to this field to serve as the link
                     between the Employee Payment Master file
                     record and the Employee Payment
                     Distribution file record.

PRD-OBJ-ID           Numeric 12                                  PR199   PR82.1
Object               This is the object identifier. It is        PR82.2  PR85.1
Identification       used to relate commitments or posted
                     transactions back to the originating
                     subsystems. Each subsystem record that
                     is updated as a commitment or posted
                     transaction is assigned an object
                     identifier. The object identifier is
                     maintained in the subsystem files and in
                     the Activity Commitments Detail and
                     Activity Transaction files. The object
                     identifier is a unique key used to drill
                     back from Activity Management to the
                     subsystems.

PRD-STATUS           Numeric 1                                   PR150   PR195
Status               Contains the distribution status. The       PR199   PR82.1
                     system creates adjustments and reversals    PR85.1
                     with a status of zero. When you run
                     PR199 (Payroll Close), the status
                     changes to nine. Records created by
                     PR199 are created with a status of nine.

                     distributions.

Activity             Activities are the processes or             PR82.2  PR85.1
                     procedures that produce work. Cost
                     objects (products, services, customers,
                     and so on) are the reasons for
                     performing the activity. Activities and
                     cost object activities are used
                     synonymously in the Activity Management
                     system. Direct costs are posted to
                     activities, and indirect costs are
                     allocated to activities based on
                     activity drivers.

                     Activities are grouped or organized by
                     activity levels. There are two kinds of
                     activities: "posting allowed" and
                     "summary only." Use posting level
                     activities to budget and maintain all
                     posted transactions. Summary activities
                     or macro activities combine information
                     and balances from lower level activities
                     for reporting and inquiries.

PRD-ACCT-CATEGORY    Alpha 5                                     PR199   PR82.1
Account Category     Account categories are groupings of         PR82.2  PR85.1
                     costs, revenues, or a combination of
                     both used for reporting and inquiries
                     for activities in the Activity
                     Management system. All transactions are
                     posted to an account category within an
                     activity. You can assign a specific
                     General Ledger account or range of
                     accounts (company, accounting unit,
                     account, and subaccount) that make up
                     the transactions posted to an account
                     category using AC07.1 (Account
                     Assignment).

                     Period-to-date, year-to-date, and
                     life-to-date balances are maintained by
                     account category for activities. Account
                     categories must be assigned to
                     activities before you do any budgeting
                     or transaction processing.
