Additional journal lines visible for 9/16-30 payroll run

Those running financial reports which include data for the 9/16-9/30/25 pay period may notice additional journal lines due to an extra Payroll Actual Accrual journal created during the course of the payroll run.

Following a brief service interruption impacting payroll run, the payroll data for the effected period was run, reversed, and re-posted, creating three journals for each paid employee:

• An original posted journal and reversal that net to $0.
• The subsequent final posted journal that created the correct expense that is now visible to all.
• Any subsequent journals that are created as a part of the Payroll process (ex. Facilities and Administration, Grant Revenue).

Please note that this issue impacts only journal lines from the effected pay period. Modernization and Payroll Services reviewed and confirmed that all financial accounting is accurate. There are no impacts to employee pay, such as overpayment, and no action is required from departments or employees.

Departments reviewing this information will notice normal data on summary reports (ex. CR FIN Sources and Uses Summary, CR GRA Award Budget to Actuals Summary, etc.), but will see a rise in the number of journal lines in detailed level reports (ex. CR FIN Transaction Detail). When exported and summarized using pivot tables, detailed reports will experience no change, but will contain the extra lines when viewing the raw output.

Those with questions or concerns may reach out to the Modernization and Payroll teams at the Workday Service Desk.
