                     Emp Acct Distribution Override

This file contains information for overriding, by percent, the normal
distribution of wages and company-paid deduction expenses by pay code,
company-paid deduction, or employee. The system uses the records to determine
the scheme for creating General Ledger Transaction File and Employee Payment
Distribution file records when you close the payroll cycle.

Records can include pay codes or deductions. If you do not enter either a pay
code or a deduction, the override distribution is referred to as an employee
override distribution and the distribution of wages and company-paid deduction
expenses follows the same pattern. PR23.1 (Payroll Distribution) is the
primary program that updates this file. PR199 (Payroll Close) and PR150
(Distribution Edit) are the primary programs that reference this file for
calculating distributions.
