Overview of the Payroll Process

The payroll functionality of Acumatica ERP is used to set up, enter, and maintain employee payroll records and transactions.

You also can use the payroll forms to complete the following tasks:

Set up employee payroll classes, which create default settings that can speed data entry of new employee records because the payroll information is grouped according to common factors, such as pay groups and work locations.
Create batches for processing multiple employees at a time (a typical pay run process) or easily create one-time checks to handle special circumstances. Data from the Acumatica ERP time entry system could be automatically brought into payroll, along with sales commission data, if required.
Use predefined inquiries and reports to view current and historical payroll information and pay activity for one employee or a selected group of employees.
For direct deposits, automatically create the ACH file for the transfer of funds directly to employee bank accounts.
Post General Ledger activity allocated in many possible ways.
Automatically generate tax and deduction liability invoices to the accounts payable, and payment information to the cash management forms for bank reconciliation.
