LABOR HISTORY TO GENERAL LEDGER COMPARISON

Use this screen to print information about accounts/organizations/projects that are out of balance between the Labor History table (LAB_HS) and the General Ledger Posting Summary table (GL_POST_SUM). The comparison is performed for both currency amounts and hours. This utility will print only accounts/organizations/projects that are out of balance for the fiscal year and period(s) selected. Printing this report changes no data. If all selected combinations are in balance, a message is displayed indicating that no records were found. Contact Deltek General SupportTechnical Support to discuss methods for correcting any out-of-balance conditions noted on the report.

You should print this report at least once a month, early in your month-end closing process, to ensure that your Labor History and G/L Posting Summary tables are in balance.

Note: You can apply org security to this function. Use this optional feature to grant or remove rights for individual users to view and/or update specific organizations. In order to do so, you must first set up the necessary org security screens in Costpoint System Administration. You can then activate org security through the use of the Maintain Users and System Settings screens. For more information about org security and how to apply it, see System Administration Special Topic SA - 5, "Organizational Security" and the documentation for the Organizational Security menu in Costpoint System Administration.

If any out-of-balance conditions are found, you should retain this report as part of your backup for any required adjustments.
