What you'll learn

What we mean when we talk about ‘GL config’, is how we set up a client’s GL mapping. This is the art of matching a client's pay elements to their GL account codes. In order to do this well, you need to understand a few concepts first:

  • A basic understanding of mapping pay elements to GL accounts and what a valid map looks like.

  • Why some clients need an end-of-month (EOM) accruals file generated as part of their GL setup and what this involves.

  • How leave provisions factor into a client's GL and how to represent this in the config.

  • How on-costs such as ACC and Workers' Comp Insurance levies can be included in journals.

  • The role of the Affinity GL Setup Template in the configuration process.
