How are payroll journal entries generated and posted to the General Ledger in Oracle Payroll Cloud?

• A. After payroll calculation, payroll results are converted into GL-friendly journal entries and posted via the GL interface.
• B. Journal entries are created manually after posting.
• C. GL entries are not used in payroll.
• D. GL entries are created before any payroll calculation.

Answer: (B)

In Oracle Payroll Cloud, the flow from payroll to General Ledger is automated. After payroll results are calculated, the system automatically transforms those results into GL‑friendly journal entries and sends them to General Ledger through the GL interface. This ensures payroll costs, liabilities, and related effects are recorded in the correct GL accounts without requiring manual entry, and posting occurs once the journal entries are generated.

If you see options suggesting manual journal entry creation after posting, or claims that GL isn’t used, or that entries are created before calculation, those don’t fit how the payroll-to-GL process is designed. The amounts depend on the payroll results, so they’re generated after calculation and posted via the GL interface.
