About Generate G/L Batch

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.csvupgltran.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.

Note: The steps in this help topic apply to the Sage HRMS desktop product. Navigation and available features may differ in the premium web version of Sage HRMS.

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

  1. From the Payroll > Tasks navigation pane , choose Generate G/L 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.
