Issue
PPS transaction rows with a zero dollar amount are missing from the Distribution of Payroll Expense (DPE) Report. This includes transactions for DOS codes like SKL, which report only hours and not dollars.
Root Cause
With the June 1 release of the DPE report to align salary and benefit transactions with the new UCPath data format, the logic to categorize PPS transactions as salary or benefits is determined by whether there is an amount in the corresponding “gross earnings” field (classified as salary) or “total benefits” field (classified as benefits). Transaction rows with zero-dollar amounts in both fields could not be categorized and are not displayed on the report.
This issue does not have a material impact on PPS expenses displayed in the DPE Report. The issue primarily impacts the SKL DOS code, where only hours and not dollars are reported.
Resolution
PPS zero dollar amount rows have been loaded into the Distribution of Payroll Expense by Account and the Distribution of Payroll Expense by Alt Account reports.
