An incorrect cost centre may be used, or an employee’s cost centre might not be updated in time. If you catch this during the Payroll Update stage, you can reverse the payroll and make the necessary changes.

However, if you've already run the Complete Update job and closed the payroll period, and there are incorrect cost centre in the general ledger. At this point, you won’t be able to amend the cost centres for that payroll period, and retrospective data corrections should not be made to correct this.

You need to correct this in your finance system or directly on the general ledger file, then update the record in PeopleXD going forward.

📌Note: This also applies to expense codes.


Review the general ledger

After running the payroll update, review the general ledger before it is written to history. To do this, follow the steps below.

  1. Click Manage Payroll then highlight the relevant pay group.

  2. Click Outputs then click General Ledger.

  3. Complete the fields then click Generate.

  1. Click Manage Payroll then beside the relevant pay group, click Process Payroll.

  2. Next to Payroll Update, click the three-dot icon then click Reverse Timesheet Confirm.

  3. Make relevant changes.
