    Starting in 2014, employer medical insurance premiums are now being tracked in Lawson to report on W2.  Prior to this, there was a manual upload as the employer costs were not in the system.  Now that the employer premiums are in BN19.1 they are posting to the GL causing an astronomical increase to our payroll expense.  Is there a way to shut those codes off so they do not post to the GL but we still can report on them.

    Any other resolution to this?

      Have you tried entering the same GL account number in the accrual and expense fields on the deduction code (PR05)?

      We do that in some cases.

        Employer costs are only mapped to an accrual account.  The tax status is taxable.  Would that couse the deductions to post as a payroll expense in the GL?

          Yes. The PR197/PR198 always creates a double entry. Which is why we sometimes place the same data in both fields so the "zero" out and don't post.
