Ability to cost termination pay elements to specific GL
When terminating employees and paying ETPs such as payment in lieu of notice, the Terminate Employee program doesn't allow to cost the various elements of the pay to a specific job or GL. For example, we would want to be able to cost Payment In Lieu of Notice to a project but Unused RDOs to a Balance Sheet provision account. At the moment all ETPs seem to default in accordance with how the default LMC payment type transaction is setup.
We used to get around this by not using the terminate employee screen and just setting up individual payroll transaction codes and doing the entry via Timesheet Entry. However, now with STP2 we can't specify the appropriate type of ETP payment any way.
Also, it would be very helpful (particularly for payment of unused leave) to have quantities shown on these termination payments so they appear on the employee's final payslip.
My preferred solution would be to add fields to the termination screen for quantity (picking up rate from employee), and having another field for costing.

The attached list shows the different ETP subtypes in the termination screen. If you fill this out they appear nicely on the payslip.
However you can't cost them to a specific place, they all go to a default GL.
We can setup individual transaction codes all with type LSC, but I'm not sure if this affects STP reporting. Do ETPs have a "sub-type" that should report through STP or are they all rolled up?
I've also logged a support ticket about the same.
