We have a pseudo-governmental client. An airport. They have a very complex payroll and have been using MAS forever. They use the Payroll expense accrual option and it works just fine for wages & taxes. They also want to accrue other employer expenses but it appears to me that this is NOT an option. They also have a DSD enhancement, PR-1028 for Employer Contributions By Department and Voucher. Still I couldn't figure a way to include EC expenses in the accruals. Anyone have any good suggestions?

I have a client that running ADP payroll. They take the first PR JE for the month and determine how much belongs in the prior month. The JE is posted in TOTAL for the month and a second one is posted for the accrual in the prior month and reversed on the same date as the full month JE. You could do the same thing for your client. To make is simple, DON'T let MAS do the accrual at all. Post the entire entry in the new month. Do the accrual for the prior month and reverse. To capture the JE in Excel, run a query against the DTR prior to updating to the GL. In Excel, determine accrual then import using VI. Reverse on the appropriate date by populating the reversing JE field.

I don't know if it is a good suggestion, but I did it this way... I set up the EC with negative amounts instead of positive. By doing that, the accrual and expense accounts ended up with debits where they were supposed to be and credits where they were supposed to be. Strange looking, but it worked.
