BrightPay + Xero
BrightPay will produce the payroll journal in a file format that is unique to Xero allowing users to easily send their payroll figures into their general ledger. The BrightPay API facility eliminates the manual export and import process, automating tedious, repetitive and time-consuming tasks.
When you sign into your Xero account in BrightPay, your nominal ledger accounts will be retrieved where users can simply map each payroll data item to the relevant nominal account. The payroll journal can include records for payslips across multiple pay frequencies.
Getting started
When you sign into your Xero account in BrightPay, your chart of accounts will be retrieved from Xero. Using this chart of accounts, map each payroll data item to the relevant nominal account. Based on the mapping applied, simply submit your journal to Xero.
