If an Expenditure account has not yet been created in USAS-R, it must exist first before adding it in USPS-R Payroll Accounts. If an expenditure payroll account has a status of “Inactive” in the USAS-R application, it will not show in the drop-down box as available when creating a new payroll account on an employee’s compensation. Accounts that have an “Inactive” status in USAS-R, may still show on an employee’s payroll account or compensation history, and can be made “Inactive” in USPS-R under Payroll Accounts.

- Percent - indicates a percentage of gross to be charged to this account. The default is Percent.
- Fixed - indicates a fixed dollar amount to be charged to the account.
- Restrictions on the use of the Fixed Option are as follows:
- The purpose of the Fixed Option is to accommodate special funding where a set amount is to be charged to a particular account for a job.
- Pay accounts for each job must total 100 percent. Therefore, if a fixed rate is used, there must be at least one percentage rate record on file for the job totaling 100 percent.

12. The Sort Order - (Default setting is 1) Sort Order - when charging accounts, we first find all of the active accounts for an employee/position that is being paid. To be active, the status of the account must be set to Active OR the status can be Maximum Amount In Effect with a maximum set and the amount already paid to the account is less than the maximum. The charge amount/percent must not be 0 and the start/stop dates on the account must have dates that are active or be empty. After we find all of the active accounts for the position being paid, then we look at the fixed accounts first and sort them by the sort order field. So the ACTIVE fixed accounts with the highest sort order are processed first. After all fixed accounts are processed, if there is still an amount remaining that has not been charged to the fixed accounts, then we will use the ACTIVE percentage accounts sorted by sort order.
