Correcting Accounting Period on PREXC

Process

This job aid describes the process for correcting the accounting period on a PREXC transaction in CORE. The payroll process involves the creation of multiple transactions from the PAM/HRM cycle. The transactions generated by PAM are payroll expenditure (PREXP), payroll internal transaction (PRLID), payroll net pay (PRLNP), and payroll liability (PRLIA). The transaction generated by HRM is the payroll expenditure correction (PREXC). The objective of this transaction is to show users how to correct an accounting period in the PREXC transaction. The PREXP, PRLNP, PRLIA and PREXC transactions are laid out the same. Upon opening the transaction, you will see a header tab, accounting tab, and posting tab. The PRLID has all of the previous listed tabs in addition to a vendor tab.
