Step By Step Guide On Posting Payroll Journals In Xero
Step 1:
To post your payroll journal in Xero or any accounting software you will need a report to show your finalised payroll. This could be from your payroll software or a report given to you by your payroll provider or accountant.
Most payroll providers and payroll software such as bright pay will have integrations set to your accounting software that will be able to post the journal for you.
Step 2:
To post the journal in Xero, you will need to access Xero > Accounting > Manual Journals; below is an example of where you need to be on Xero:
Step 3:
In this section of Xero, you can see all journals that have been previously posted and you have the ability to either set up a new journal, import a journal or produce a repeating journal.
For your payroll journal you can either add a manual journal, which will be more useful if your wages are different every week/month and the figures will need to be amended each time.
Importing a journal can be easy to use if you use a payroll facility that can produce journal integrations.
A repeating journal would be appropriate for when the payroll figure do not change on a week by week or month by month basis and stay the same all year round.
Step 4:
Once you have decided which type of journal is most appropriate to use, you can select and take the figures from your payroll report or information provided by your accountant or payroll provider. You can enter them into Xero as below:
Here the first thing you will fill out is the description of your journal so you can refer back to the journal and find what the journal entry relates to.
Secondly you can enter the date of the journal, which in this case will be the period relating to the wages, in the example above I have used the 30th of September 2020.
In this example the wages journal only consists of gross pay and net pay. Gross pay goes to an expense account in the profit and loss, while net pay sits as a liability until paid.
