What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
It is a foundation, not an app.
Advances, expenses and payroll bring the workflows; this makes them post correctly.
It does not create analytic accounts.
You point a department at one you already maintain.
It does not compute salary.
The payroll app does; this decides where the entry lands.
One analytic account per department.
A finer split is what analytic distribution models are for.
Works Well With
Apps from the same stack, built to fit this one:
Payroll
Where department costs are actually produced.

Who Should Use HR Accounting?

Gets cost by department without a mapping spreadsheet.
Payroll
Posts to the analytic account the department already declares.
