Compare the wage declaration and wage journal entry
Often a one on one comparison of the wage declaration and wage journal entry will not be possible, because differences may arise because of corrections to a period for which the declaration time frame has not expired yet. You can compare replacement data and cumulative data.
Note:
You correct € 100.- for period 2 and the declaration time frame for period 2 is not over yet (it is not yet March 31). The tax authority requires you to submit a new full wage declaration for period 2. This ensures that there will be no correction declaration and you will never be faced with a penalty.
If the amount of € 100 is processed in period 3, Profit writes this amount to the wage journal entry for period 3 while it ends up in the wage declaration for period 2. If you now compare the journal entry with the wage declaration for period 2, it will show a difference of € 100.-.
Below you can find an explanation of how to view a replacement journal entry and replacement declaration for a period.
To view the replacement wage declaration:
- Go to: HR / Payroll / Salary processing cockpit.
- Click on the action: Declaration.
- Open the declaration line.
- Select Wage declaration of the selected declaration line. The collective data of the wage declaration are the replacement data for the relevant period.
- Click on: OK.
To view a replacement wage journal entry:
- Go to: HR / Payroll / Salary processing cockpit.
- Select the period line.
- Click on the action: Output.
- Open the overview: Cost analysis.
- Open the view: by employer.
Profit generates a replacement journal entry. You can compare the ledger accounts with the headings of the wage declaration. You can also double-click on one of the ledger accounts to see which journal entry line will be created for the ledger account.
If there is a difference, in most cases it will be caused by an incorrect journalising of certain wage components.
If necessary, adjust the journal structure.
Note:
Changes to the journal structure do not result in RAE entries. If you have changed the journal structure, you must force an RAE entry to correct the periods already approved.
