Interface to Finance

Log on to the NYR payroll frequency.

Payroll > Payroll Processing > EOY Payroll Accruals > Interface to Finance

If necessary, accrual re-calculations can still be performed even if the interface file was already created. If re-calculations are performed for the same date, then the new interface file is displayed on the Create General Journal tab and the previous interface file is no longer displayed on the Interface to Finance tab.

After the transactions are created for the general journal, they are displayed on this tab. This process is the actual interface between Payroll processing and Finance applications for the EOY Payroll Accruals. This tab is only available after the Create General Journal process is successfully completed.

There are two options available when interfacing general journal transactions to Finance:

  • Post to Current Acct Period
  • Post to Next Acct Period

Verify the accounting period in Finance to be used when posting the general journal.

The tab contains a display-only grid of the transactions that are pending interface.
