Record salary payments
Record a whole pay run as paid with the date, mode and reference, or record single payments such as an advance or a settled hold.
X keeps a record of what you paid. It does not move money.
Record a whole run as paid
- Open the finalised run on Payroll.
- Under Record the run as paid, pick Paid on, the Mode and, if you have one, the Reference (UTR, cheque number).
- Select Record the run as paid.
X records one payment for each staff member included, and the run's Payment column shows Paid.
Record one payment
- Go to Payroll → Payments.
- Under Record a payment, choose the Staff member.
- In For, choose Salary, Advance, Bonus, Full and final, Loan or Reimbursement.
- Choose the Pay run, or Not for a pay run.
- Enter the Amount (₹), Paid on, Mode and Reference, and a Note if you like.
- Select Save.
Modes are Cash, Bank transfer, UPI, Cheque and Other.
A payment record does not change any pay run. Recording an Advance or a Loan does not set up a recovery from later salaries: to recover it, add a monthly deduction under Earnings and deductions. See Add one-time earnings and deductions. The wage register shows such a deduction under Advances and loans only if its component has the code ADVANCE_RECOVERY or LOAN_RECOVERY; otherwise it is under Other deductions.
See payments
Salary payments lists every payment with its Date, Staff, Kind, Period, Amount, Mode, Reference and who recorded it. A run paid for some staff but not all shows Partly paid.
You need the Record salary payments permission.
Questions
Does recording a payment pay my staff?
No. X records payments; it does not move money. Pay through your bank, UPI, cash or cheque first, then record it.
