Best approach to zero out beginning balance on negative amounts accrual code.

Hi,

There are several employees showing negative beginning balances in table F06146 (field YNBWBB – Gross Pay Beginning Balance).

I am looking for recommendations on how best to clear these negative accrual beginning balances so they can be written off through a journal entry.

One proposed approach was to create new accrual codes for each affected DBA (four total). Payroll would then manually zero out the employees’ negative balances using the PDBA History program. The new accrual codes would collect the lump-sum adjustment (across all impacted employees), allowing Finance to record the offsetting journal entry. However, I understand that manually updating PDBA History results in loss of historical tracking within the system.
