Each payroll cycle, funding for payroll is applied during post-processing. It creates accounting lines that are sent to the PeopleSoft Finance System (FIN) in a payroll journal. Payroll Expense Transfers (PETs), which are used to make payroll funding changes after payroll has processed, are sent to FIN in a single batch two times per day (with a few exceptions when other processes overlap).

Use HCM payroll queries to confirm payroll and PET details within HCM. These are available as soon as payroll or the PET is complete.

• HCM Payroll Register Accounting Detail: Returns payroll earnings and funding sources.
• HCM Paycheck Distribution: Returns payroll earnings and employer-paid taxes and deductions and funding sources.
• Find PETs from the CU PET and Funding menu in the HRGL General Search feature.

Use mFIN reports to verify the HCM payroll data in CU-Data the day after payroll and PETs complete. Here are several CU Data mFIN reports to help you.

• m-Fin Compensation Summary: Returns the total compensation by employee for each position by month detailed by SpeedType, salary, benefits and PETs.
