WIP Labor GL Distribution

You use the WIP Labor GL Distribution program to generate a report of General Ledger entries for labor posting transactions created within the Labor Posting or Job Issues programs.

This report is generated from the General Ledger journals created by the WIP Labor GL Integration program.

[Note]

If you indicated that the Work in Progress module is not linked to General Ledger and no distribution report is required (General Ledger Integration) then you will be unable to produce any labor distribution reports using this program.

This report can be run at any time and as often as required.

Report Options

Field Description
Report options  
Report type Indicate the type of report you want to generate.
Detail

Select this to print a list of labor posting transactions posted against each ledger code.

Totals are printed for each ledger code with a distribution total printed at the end of the report.
Summary Select this to print only totals for each ledger code, together with distribution totals.
Print additional reference

Select this to print the additional reference, entered in the Labor Posting program, on the distribution report.

This option is only enabled if you select to print a detailed report.
Reprint Select this to reprint WIP Labor GL distribution reports previously printed.

When you select this option, you can define a range of selection criteria according to which you want to reprint the report.

[Note]

The number of periods for which you can reprint distribution entries depends on the number of periods for which you are retaining Labor posting journals (WIP Setup - History tab).

In SYSPRO 6.1 the journal and distribution entries tables/files were combined and the distribution entries tables/files were removed. Therefore, the number of months you select to retain the journals also determines the number of months for which the distribution entries prior to SYSPRO 6.1 are retained.
Entry selection This option is only enabled when you select the Reprint option.
Entry selection by: Indicate whether you want to reprint the report for a specific set of journals or a set of distribution entries.
Journal Select this to reprint the report for a specific range of General Ledger journal numbers.
Entries group Select this to reprint the report for a specific range of distribution entry groups.
[Note]

This only applies if you want to reprint ledger distribution entries created prior to SYSPRO 6.1.

Prior to SYSPRO 6.1, a new entries group was created in the General Ledger entries file/table for each distribution report printed.

This option enables you to reprint these entries groups.
Current GL period This is displayed for information purposes only and cannot be changed.
Period This indicates the current period of your General Ledger module.
Year This indicates the current year of your General Ledger module.
