General Ledger Interface

Payroll Ledger Interface

The main key integration usually necessary for a successful implementation of gulfHR is the General Ledger (GL) interface.

This interface transfers monthly payroll information, at a summary or detail level (depending on client requirements), into the correct table ready for posting into the General Ledger module of the client’s financial system.

This integration can either be direct – i.e. a direct interface into the financial systems ‘back-end’ or indirect – the GL summaries will be exported to excel and from there pushed or uploaded into the clients financial system.
