                     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.

                       assigned a unique number. The system
                       uses the employee number to correlate
                       all of the information related to that
                       person.

                       record and the Employee Payment

                       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.

                       PR199 (Payroll Close), the status
                       changes to nine. Records created by
