Why are duplicate subledger journals being created?

Hello,

We have a scenario where we are manually entering a Payroll subledger journal and it is producing two journals upon posting.

I understand the flags Y and N relate to budgetary control and that In Journal #1 – Original transaction the Funds Status is "Reserved in subledger" and the lines are identified as needing to be reserved during Payroll procedures.

And In Journal #2 – Clearing the clearing accounts the Funds Status is "Reserved" and the lines are identified as needing to be reserved during GL processing (i.e., Payroll did not identify those lines as needing reservation).

in my second screenshot (which is Journal #2 with the 'N' flag), the I/C lines make sense within the journal itself, but what is the purpose/reason to even create a second journal with budgetary control flag N which is just Dr. and Cr. the same accounts? (this seems redundant?)
