Hello All,
I have some questions regarding the use of PR23.1. I have read the Payroll User Guide and done some research about its uses, but still would appreciate clarity... When utilized, do taxes get distributed to multiple entities or is the sole function to distribute wages to multiple GL accounts? Also, do the wages get broken out to the additional entities or are they are reported under the main entity. Thanks much for any insight.
Regards,
Jeff

Jeff,
We use it for situations where we are charging an associate more than one cost center. The good and bad of the form is that you need a record for EACH pay type and each deduction type that you want to split. If you do not enter a split for one pay code and the associate gets that pay code it will assume their home cost center. (I entered an enhancement request to have the form allow for a BLANK pay code and a BLANK deduction code so that it would see the blank and assume the split for ALL items.)
We have never used it to split someone to a different company just charging cost centers or charging units.
FORM HELP INFORMATION:
Use Payroll Distribution - Employees (PR23.1) to override, by percent,
the normal distribution of wages and company-paid deductions for an employee. You can define percent distributions for specific pay codes and company-paid deductions.
**Processing Effect
If you leave the Pay Code and Deduction fields blank, all wage and
company-paid deduction expenses for an employee are distributed to the general ledger accounts entered in this form. When you run PR197 (Payroll Close) you can determine how employee payroll distribution records are used for distributing expenses. You can:
- distribute both the pay expense and company-paid expenses,
- distribute only pay expenses, or
- distribute only company-paid expenses.

Thanks Shane. Yes, I am pretty certain that the PR23.1 was not designed to break out wages to multiple entities, though you can for charging wages and deductions... But it doesn't report it on multiple W-2's which we would need it to do if the entities have different EIN's... Still I am just curious how others use it. Thanks again.

We do distribute to different Expense companies. Depending on your set up, you may be able to distribute so that you would be able to generate multiple w-2s by filling in the process level and if that process level were a different EIN. We do not do that so you would need to test it. In theory, it looks like it would work that way. We are on HCM company and multiple independent process levels. Our GL is multiple companies that equal each independent process level.

just from experience, pr23 is a one trick pony that affects only prdistrib, gl and downstream, doesn't affect the timrecord itself so it doesn't affect w-2's even if the expense is to another ein. pr297 reads tables upstream from prdistrib, so that makes sense.
it'll report to whatever the entity (work-process level) of the original timerecord. otherwise we've had to make pr82 adjustments b/t the entities.

Thank you Carolyn! I saw the same thing when I tested this last week. I appreciate your response!
