What Payslip Mapping Does

Payslip Mapping connects:

• Payslip components such as salary, allowances, and deductions

• Accounting accounts used to record payroll-related amounts

When payroll data is processed, SmartBooks uses this mapping to post values into the correct accounts.

Configuring Payslip Mapping

To configure or update payslip mapping:

1. Open Payslip Mapping

2. Select the Payslip Component

3. Select the Account to record the amount

4. Save the mapping

The mapping is applied automatically to future payroll records.

Updating Payslip Mapping

Update this mapping when:

• Payroll components are added or changed

• Payroll-related accounts are updated

• Accounting structure is revised

Changes affect future payroll records only.

Important Notes

• Payslip mapping applies only to payroll-related transactions

• Incorrect mapping can affect expense and liability reporting

• Existing payroll records are not recalculated automatically

When to Configure This

• During initial SmartBooks setup

• Before processing payroll

• When payroll-related reports show incorrect values
