Error creating GL entries for employee

If your general ledger (GL) posting setup is incomplete, you get an error that prevents you from processing a pay run: "Error creating GL entries for employee: Employee ID with Payroll Posting Class Posting Class. No posting class item found for pay item: Pay Item with the purpose group code: Purpose Group Code."

Fixing the error

  1. Go to Posting Classes form.
  2. In the Class ID field, select the posting class mentioned in the error message.
  3. In the GL accounts table, check whether the purpose group code mentioned in the error already exists.
  4. If the purpose group code is missing, click the Add Row icon (+).
  5. In the new row, complete the fields for the purpose group code.
  6. Save your changes.
  7. Go to the Employee's Current Pay for the employee mentioned in the error.
  8. Check if the error is still affecting the pay item. If it is, remove and re-add the pay item.

  9. Process the pay run as normal.
