Payroll Import Setup

Before you can use the Payroll Import feature, there are a few things that need to be set up.

Payroll GL Accounts

In order for the imported payroll data to be updated correctly, your AcctVantage payroll accounts must be matched to their corresponding accounts in CheckMark.

See the CheckMark Payroll documentation for directions on setting up Ledger Accounts in CheckMark.

CheckMark Ledger Accounts

Make a note of each of the appropriate Ledger Accounts from CheckMark Payroll.

These need to be entered into AcctVantage in order to use the Payroll Import feature.
