      Link Wiise Payroll accounts to G/L account mapping 

       

      Overview:  

      • Understand the ways to map pay runs in Wiise Payroll to Wiise G/L accounts 
      • Link your Wiise Payroll accounts to G/L account mapping 
      • Synchronise Wiise Payroll accounts with G/L account mapping  

      Why link Wiise Payroll accounts to G/L account mapping? 

      By linking the Wiise general ledger account mapping to Wiise Payroll accounts, you ensure that the correct ledger entries are created in the payroll journal when you import a pay run. This allows the payment journal to be automatically posted once the pay run is completed.

      Note: You can map your pay runs in Wiise Payroll to Wiise general ledger (G/L) accounts via the Simple G/L account setup or Advanced G/L account setup. 

       How to link Wiise Payroll accounts to G/L account mapping? 

      1. In Wiise, select Wiise Payroll from the Wiise landing page. Then, select G/L Account Setup from the action ribbon.

        1. The Account Type and Payroll Account Name fields are the Wiise Payroll accounts. These are automatically prefilled. 
        2. The Account No., and Account Name fields are the Wiise G/L accounts.  

          Note: You’ll notice that the Wiise chart of accounts you’ve selected when your Wiise company was set up is auto mapped to the Wiise Payroll accounts.  

          Note: If you have imported your own chart of accounts, you’ll need to manually map the Wiise Payroll accounts to the Wiise G/L accounts in this view.  
      2. Select Edit List to update the G/L account mapping. 
      3. For each Payroll Account Name, select the drop-down menu in Account No., column. Then, select the Wiise G/L account you want to map to.  
      4. You’ve now linked Wiise Payroll accounts to G/L account mapping. 

      Note: If the Wiise G/L account does not exist, select New to add a new G/L account.  

      How to synchronise Wiise Payroll accounts with G/L account mapping?

      Here are the steps to retrieve your Wiise Payroll accounts from Wiise Payroll and map to G/L accounts.  

      1. On your G/L Account Setup action ribbon on Wiise Payroll, select Get Accounts. 
         
        Note: Get Accounts action updates the G/L account mappings from Wiise Payroll into Wiise.

        2.  
      2. Wiise synchronises with Wiise Payroll to retrieve an updated list of accounts on the G/L Account Setup page.  

        Note: When the synchronisation is complete, a notification appears at the top of the page summarising how many records were newly added or updated. You can then map the review, edit and map the category to the approriate G/L account.  
      3. You’ve now synchronised your Wiise Payroll accounts to the G/L account mapping.  

      Note: If you've enabled Advanced G/L Account Mapping, the Balancing account No., and Balancing Account Name columns will automatically handle accruals like expenses, leave, or employee contributions.
