Before posting payroll journal values, set up an integration between your accounting and payroll accounts.
Set up your Accounting integration
Go to Accounting Integration and Click Set up Accounting Integration.
Select Set up Accounting Integration now.
Under the Account authentication, Enter your Sage Accounting Username and Password.
Click Authenticate and Save.
After linking the products, choose the company you want to integrate with from the Accounting Company dropdown. If the company is missing, log in to Sage Accounting and add it.
Link your accounts by selecting the debit and credit account in Payment Component Mapping.
Once you've made your changes, select Save.
📌Tip: Which accounts do I debit and credit?
Apply the following principles when posting payroll journals:
Earnings debit an expense account and credit a salary control account
Deductions debit the salary control account and credit liability accounts like PAYE or medical aid
Company contributions debit an expense account and credit liability accounts
Fringe benefits use the salary control account unless the debit needs to be expensed
Add and edit all account descriptions in Accounting. If the updates don't appear in Payroll, select Refresh to apply the changes.
