Step by step: Link accounts to payroll items
1. Ensure Altinn integration is set up
You must have linked the company to Altinn to retrieve a-melding data.
See the guide: How to connect to Altinn.
💡 You need administrator rights in Accountflow to set up integration with Altinn.
2. Assign payroll template to relevant accounts
Go to Reconciliation under Settings & Admin in the menu on the left.
Select the Chart of accounts settings tab and find the accounts used in payroll posting.
Click the pencil icon and change the template to Payroll for the relevant accounts.
3. Go to Payroll settings
Switch to the Payroll settings tab and then to the Mapping tab.
Here you will see an overview of accounts and items linked to the payroll template.
4. Link accounts to the correct payroll items
Use the pencil icon to link each account to the correct payroll item, based on how payroll data is actually posted in the general ledger.
The payroll items are divided into three main categories:
Expensed – usually posted in the income statement.
Reported – usually posted to a subledger.
Allocated – usually posted in the balance sheet.
💡 To set up the links correctly, you must know which payroll items are actually posted to the account in the accounting system. Use the payroll system or the general ledger as your reference if you are unsure.
