PAYROLL: how to assign GL control accounts to a Payroll ID

Autolitho

My client has set up 4 different payroll IDs in the "Payroll Cycle Workbench."

It seems that the net pay for each payroll ID is credited to a specific General Ledger "control" account. That means, the account that the system credits the net pay of an employee is determined by the Payroll ID. The client wants to alter 2 of these control accounts and leave the other 2 as they are.

I am not able to trace where these GL accounts are linked to the Payroll ID.

However, I do note that in P069045 (Work With Accounting JE Rules – Liabilities), there is an entry under the default company code (00000), with no DBA code, and a journal type of AL but without an object account. There is also another entry under the main company code (01000), with no DBA code, and a journal type of AL but this one does have an object account. However, it is not the account that I have seen in the journals.

For example, a most simplistic payslip:

PDBA Code Amount
1-Basic $1000
2-Tax -$100
-------- -----
Net Pay $900

When payroll is processed, the net pay $900 becomes an accrued liability (owed by company to employee) until the payment voucher is processed and the employee is paid. In JDE, how do you link payroll to the GL account into which this amount is credited?
