Integrating with the General Ledger

MYOB Advanced Payroll can integrate with the General Ledger module of MYOB Advanced, or it can operate in a standalone mode, integrating with an external General Ledger. The "Use External General Ledger" feature on the Enable/Disable Features (CS.10.00.00) form determines the mode of operation.

When MYOB Advanced Payroll is implemented with MYOB Advanced, the entire Finance module is operational, and shows all Advanced Business and Advanced People General Ledger accounts. General Ledger journals created by the payroll module are released and posted directly to the General Ledger module.

When MYOB Advanced Payroll is implemented standalone, the General Ledger functions of Advanced Business are available for setting up General Ledger accounts, but General Ledger information must exported manually to an external business system/ERP.

In either case, the system has mechanisms for determining which General Ledger accounts payroll journals should be posted to, which must be set up before commencing operation. Once configured, the system creates General Ledger journals as pays are completed, and as batch payments are processed.
