Problem/Cause/Solution/Workaround/Example
ECs 994-999 are generated by the system based on Balance Action defined in the crew Payment tab.
By default, when an employee is added to the system their Balance Action is setup to "Carry forward to the next month". Then you update it to add the banking details and tell the system with what bank interface you are paying to the crew.
EC 994 Net Wage is generated only when you are making a payment to the crew during the period, meaning the Payment tab has been updated and the banking details inserted.
EC 995 Balance Carried Forward is generated when the Balance action is "Carry forward to the next month", meaning you are not making the payment to the employee in the current payroll period and the Payment tab for the crew has no banking information. This EC has a net amount for the period and yes, it is deducting it from the crew balance to transfer it to the next period. Why is it a deduction? The system is always leveling and bringing the employee total balance to 0 in a period to be sure that there are no loose ends and nothing is forgotten to be paid to the crew.
EC 996 Balance Brought Forward is generated when there is some due balance from the previous months, no matter what the Balance Action on the Payments tab is. If the crew has had EC 995 calculated in the previous month, the balance for transfer is saved on ACC17, and EC 996 will always appear automatically if there is anything in ACC17. And of course, EC 996 would be paying out a positive amount because it is bringing the net amount that is due to be paid.
EC 999 Negative Balance Carried Forward - will always generate when the total balance for the employee is negative, meaning the deductions from the crew wage are higher than the crew allowances. The balance will be saved on ACC12. One may find it surprising that the calculation sign on this entry is a plus, but it makes sense when we think about the mentioned above system rule - to bring the employee total balance per period to 0. So, if a person's total has gone negative, EC 999 will even it out, but ACC12 will receive a negative value to transfer the deduction to the next month.
EC 998 Negative Balance Brought Forward - will always generate when there is the amount in ACC12, meaning the crew has had EC 999 calculated in the previous month. The amount will always be negative.
It is up to you to update the naming of these Entry Codes as you like.
EC 994 can only be created in the same month with EC 995 or EC 999 if EC 994 was paid out to the bank and locked, and after that some new additional balance appeared and Balance Action was changed to "Carry forward" or an over-deduction to the crew wage was inserted. In all other cases, in the same period, there will be only one of the three Entry Codes.
EC 996 and EC 998 can be created in the same month with ECs 994, 995, 999 if there is a positive or a negative balance due from the previous month.
