Payroll accounting

Map salary components to your ledger and export a balanced journal voucher for every payroll run, as CSV or Tally XML.

Payroll accounting turns each locked or released payroll run into a journal voucher for your books.

Accounting codes (Payroll › Settings › Components) map each salary component to a general-ledger code, plus the fixed accounts: net salary payable, PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS payable, the loan and advance receivable, and the default salary expense. Pick whether expenses are split by location or by department.

Journals (Payroll › Operations › Accounting) lists your runs. Open a run to see its voucher: salary expense by component and cost centre on the debit side, payables on the credit side. Total debits always equal total credits. Export the voucher as CSV or as Tally XML. Every export is kept in the archive with who exported it and when.

If a component or account in the voucher has no code yet, the export stops and lists what is missing. If a run is unlocked after you exported it, that voucher is marked void, and you export again once the run is locked.

Only people who approve payroll and can read private pay details can see or export journals.
