Posting Log Review

The Posting Log Review report provides a list of all posting logs generated during the current period, regardless of the transaction type.

  • Payroll processing runs.
  • Payment processing runs.
  • Benefit hour accruals and adjustment processing runs.
  • Interactive billing transfers.
  • Opening new accounting periods, W-2 quarters, or benefit accrual years.
  • Closing periods.
