About Generate G/L Batch

Learn more

This window lets you create or append to a batch of transactions for posting to Sage HRMS Payroll General Ledger or to another general ledger.

Use this window if, on the Integration tab of the Payroll G/L Integration window, you chose the option to create G/L batches on request.

If you do not use a general ledger the payroll program appends general ledger transactions to a file called cpgltran.csv which can be imported into a general ledger program, or transferred to another general ledger system you use. The file is in a Comma Separated Values (CSV) format, and is created in the same directory as your company database.

Before you start

Print the Payroll G/L Transactions report to review the G/L transactions to be created when you run Generate G/L Batch.

Creating General Ledger Batches

From the Payroll > Tasks navigation pane , choose Generate G/L Batch.
Click Process to create the batch or Close to exit without creating a batch.

After using

Post the batches to your program, if applicable.
If you use a different general ledger, import the CSV batch file into your general ledger, then delete the file.
Using the Payroll G/L Transactions report, transfer the entries to your general ledger manually, then delete the CSV batch file.
