Create the payroll journal

There are 2 ways to create a payroll journal:

A payroll journal that reflects a specific payment

Go to the Payroll payment list and select the payment you wish to create a journal for. Under More select Create payroll journal. The payment needs to have status: Payment in Process for you to be allowed to create a journal from the payment.

You are automatically transfered to the journal draft which is created created from the payment.
This draft has the Palkkaus accounting report, upon which the draft is based, as an attachment.

The payment is automatically marked with the journal number in the payroll payment list.

See below.

A Payroll Journal for the month

When you have run payroll you can go to the Payroll Journal menu under Payroll and import the payroll journal.

Choose the month, the journal series, and the date the journal is to have then click Import Journal. The payroll journal can be retrieved multiple times, and it is automatically updated if you have carried out multiple payroll runs for the selected month.

Payroll Journals are created automatically via the API. When you have run payroll the journal can be created within 5 minutes as we fetch accounting data from Palkkaus.fi every 5 minutes. 

You will be presented with the new journal draft and have the chance to edit it if necessary before saving it as a draft or posting it.

Note! Both drafts and journals can be reconciled with the payroll payment under banking.

Note! The Payroll Journals view under Payroll is the same view as the Accounting - Journals view. This means that you can also import and work with your payroll journals under Accounting if you wish.
