Once a successful connection is established between Bayzat and your accounting platforms you can initiate mapping or configuring your data with Bayzat.

The steps followed are:

Step 1: Settings > Configurations > Payroll > Accounting Integrations - (Your accounting platform) > Map Data.

Step 2. Fetch and convert payroll currencies to accounting platform base currency.

Note that you can only set up one base currency from your subsidiary accounts.

Step 3. Enable mapping of accounting platform cost centers with preferred cost centers to include cost center information in the line items during the synchronization, specifically for journal entries created using the methods "By employee" or "By cost center".

Selecting the desired cost centers will allow you to map cost centers on Bayzat with cost centers on your accounting platform.

Step 4. Map employee paid via.

Select mode of entry for paid via options:

  • Consolidated entry - This will write a single consolidated summed-up entry as a debit/credit record under the paid via matched GL account.

  • Entry by cost centers -This will write multiple debit/credit records summed and grouped by cost centers.

  • Entry by employees - This will multiple debit/credit records grouped by the employee.

Defining Bank Accounts and Exchange house details:
