- Timeline: 1-2 weeks

### Advanced Topics

> 
> If your payroll journal entry doesn't match expectations at period end (for example, doubled accrual reversals) or the entry won't approve, see the troubleshooting sections in [Payroll Journal Entry Overview](/docs/phase-6-payroll#), [Payroll Liability](/docs/phase-6-payroll#), and [Payroll Journal Entry Record](/docs/phase-6-payroll#).

### What to prepare for next?

Restaurant365

A journal entry created automatically when a pay run is approved, recording wages, taxes, deductions, and employer contributions to the general ledger. It must be reviewed and approved separately from the pay run itself.

An accrual is an amount recorded when it’s earned or incurred rather than when it’s paid or received.
