An employee has a checking and savings account that is split with a regular paycheck. He received a bonus and wants the full amount to go into his checking account only. Is this possible without changing the payroll settings?
How do you set up the deduction/benefit code to add Shareholder Health Insurance to owner’s W2 and report in Box 12 DD?
Hello all,I am new to Acumatica. What is the recommended approach for bulk importing of data from external timekeeping systems into the Payroll module?Specifically, my company is a franchisee of QSRs and the majority of our timekeeping is performed at the restaurant level through our POS system. We can currently get the data exported from our system either as a CSV or JSON formats. My question is, what is the recommended approach for importing such data into Acumatica’s payroll module for processing? We do not plan on using the Timekeeping features of Acumatica at our restaurants and entering the data manually is entirely impractical given the number of employees, so neither of these options will work. The system does not seem to expose a Web Service endpoint that could be used, nor did I see an “Import Scenario” that would be appropriate for bulk import. Any suggestions?Thanks!
Is there a way to setup a Flat Rate Earning code that could be added to the Employee Compensation Tab of the Employee Payroll settings ?? This Flat Rate Code would then automatically be picked up on each Payroll run so one doesn’t need to import a Earnings file or hours file each run. I have a client that doesn’t want hours to appear on the paystub for the Salaried Employees as they are being paid a set amount whether they work 30 hours or 50 hours. This desire is to prevent any lawsuits on overtime for the Salaried positions.Thanks
Every rep firm we work with requires Line Item details on commissions reports. The Commission Details report isn’t at all what it is named, it’s just a list of invoice numbers.The Commission Details report is not actually a “report” (.rpx), but there is a reference to PX.Objects.AR.ARSPCommissionDocEnq. I hope that CommissionDocEnq indicates there is an enquiry/inquiry somewhere behind the scenes. Has anyone created a project to add Line Item information to this report?
October 1 begins our fiscal year and all employees have received a raise. Is there a way to import the pay increases to all employees? I have already created a spread sheet with all the data that I believe is needed to import. Most of the earning codes are the same for a majority of employees. I am new to Acumatica but I am trying to learn as much as possible and I do not want to enter one by one.
The PTO bank accrues the hours correctly; however, I am trying to configure the system to also accrue the amounts and create the corresponding entry in Journal Transactions. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to do this?
We just switched over to Acumatica and processed our first payroll in the system. After processing, I realized an error in the HSA deduction/direct deposit where the HSA deduction is essentially being doubled up. In our old system, we could tie the HSA deduction to a specific HSA direct deposit account, so the amount specified in the deduction set up was automatically directed toward the account set up under the HSA direct deposit code. Acumatica apparently does not have the ability to do this, so our implementation team advised us to set up the HSA account under direct deposits, and specify the dollar amount to deposit into the account with the remainder going to the regular checking account. Unfortunately, this is actually doubling up on the HSA deduction.For example, say an employee’s net pay was $1,000, including an HSA deduction of $25. They should actually receive $1,000 in their bank account because the HSA deduction was already factored into the calculation of their net wages.

I had tried not activating the EI taxes on the Employee Payroll Settings but get an error when calculating the paycheck. How do I set up this employee so EI insurable earnings & premiums are not calculated for this employee and that their T4 will show that they are EI exempt?
Does anyone know if you check the box for use catch up contributions if it will look at the birthdate in the system? So, if you check it for everyone, even if they are not age 50 or older, it will look at the birthdate and NOT the check box?
Is there a way to add the Hire and Termination dates from the Employee Payroll Settings Employment History tab to a generic inquiry? Our client is needing this information for an audit. If we use the Start Date and End Date of the positions we do not get accurate information if the employee had a position change. The DAC indicates these fields do not exist in the database and are part of the application code. The client is need the hire date field to populate the original hire date of the employee and the termination date only if the employee has been terminated. They do not need the end date of a position change.
Hi We are having some internal issues regarding timecards approval status. Our approval status itself works fine, but once the employees time is approved, we would like to limit the possibilities to put the actual timecard to hold status. Our final step in the approval process is the finance department, and once the timecard is approved, we would like to disable the hold button, exccept for members from a specific group in our company tree. Is that possible?
Currently the Payroll Direct Deposit amounts are posted to the Cash account in detail instead of batch total. I do not see a setting to update this nor can I find a document addressing this behavior. I am sure I must be missing something… Thank you
Hello all,I would like to know if I mark the below employee as Inactive & deactivate the line items under the Delegates tab, would the delegation become inactive? Also how can I add date under Expires On field?
Hello Everyone,I was wondering how the payroll module pulls taxable wage amounts. Let’s talk about the California SUTA wage base amount. Say an employee has gross wages of $10,000. The taxable wages for the California SUTA will stop at $7,000 (unless overriden of course). Does it stop at $7,000 because Acumatica is pulling this limit from the tax symmetry engine?I am just trying to get confirmation on how this works.Thanks
