Overview:
- Learn to group payroll transactions by location dimension when importing pay runs into Wiise ERP.
Why Group Transactions by Location Dimension?
Grouping payroll transactions by location dimensions helps categorise and track payroll costs across different areas of your business. This mapping ensures accurate cost allocation, enables detailed reporting, and supports better analysis of payroll data.
Note: This process works only when you’ve enabled Group Transactions by Location Dimension in the Advanced section of the Wiise Payroll Setup.
Note: Location-to-dimension mapping applies only when importing a finalised pay run from Wiise Payroll into the payroll journal in Wiise ERP.
Note: Dimensions set up in Wiise Payroll must also be manually set up in Wiise ERP. The naming convention must be an exact match.
Note: This mapping does not apply to Wiise Timesheets.
