Procurement Integration

Purchase Orders are no longer managed in the Accounting workspace itself.

6.1 Where Purchase Orders Live Now

If the Procurement module is enabled:

• Purchase Orders are managed in Procurement > Purchase Orders
• Supplier invoice matching is managed in Procurement > Supplier Invoices
• Procurement approvals are handled in the Procurement workspace

6.2 How Procurement Connects to Accounting

When Procurement and Accounting are both enabled:

• Matched supplier invoices can sync into Accounting as bills
• Inventory-related receipt and posting flows can feed the ledger through the configured bridges
• Accounting remains the source of truth for posted AP, payment, and reporting balances

6.3 If Procurement Is Not Enabled

If you do not use Procurement, create bills directly in Accounting and manage the payable lifecycle there.

6.4 Payroll posting boundary

Payroll owns employee compensation, statutory calculations, pay-run approval, payslips, disbursement preparation, and employee-loan lifecycle decisions. Accounting receives only the reviewed financial result when the Accounting module and required mappings are enabled. An Accounting user does not recalculate Payroll from the journal, and a Payroll user does not need Accounting workspace access for the authorized background posting to run.

Posting an approved Payroll run creates the configured balanced salary, deduction, payable, and expense journal. Posted Payroll and Accounting history remains immutable; use the Payroll void or correction workflow rather than editing the journal directly.

For an Accounting-linked employee loan, approved disbursement posts DR Employee Loan Receivable / CR the selected eligible money account. Posted payroll recovery credits Employee Loan Receivable through the Payroll posting service. The loan subledger, money movement, and Accounting journal retain their source references; Accounting does not treat loan principal or recovery as income or payroll expense.
