Payroll Journal Entries are created to balance out the labor accrued on the Daily Sales Summary. Therefore, after a Payroll JE is entered, the Payroll Accrual should be cleared on all of the DSSs within the selected date range.
One way to view if the Payroll Accrual balances out the Payroll Journal Entry is to view the 'Distribution' tab of the Payroll Journal Entry record. This tab displays the difference between the 'Details' tab, or the actual Labor details, and the 'Payroll Estimate Clearing' tab, or the estimated Payroll. To confirm that all of the accrued expense has been cleared, please run the GL Account Detail report for the payroll date range.
