At a Glance
The facts of HR Accounting, version 0.1.2, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
How It Works
Three screens.
The department knows its analytic account
One field, and every posting that comes from HR knows where to land.
A payment to a person
The employee, the journal and the reason - recorded as an employee payment.
What is owed to employees
The payments to employees in one place, separate from vendor payments.
What You Get
An analytic account on the department, and the departments on the analytic account
Analytic distribution models that can be matched by department
An Employee partner type on payments, with the employee on the payment
Employee payables and receivables as their own lists
The bridge the payroll, expense and advance apps rely on
No new app - the fields sit on the screens finance already uses

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.
Advances, expenses and payroll bring the workflows; this makes them post correctly.
You point a department at one you already maintain.
The payroll app does; this decides where the entry lands.
A finer split is what analytic distribution models are for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does HR Accounting do?
Departments carry an analytic account, distribution models can be driven by department, and a payment can be made to an employee rather than to a contact.
What does HR Accounting not do?
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.

According to Vietnam accounting regulations, the 334 account registers the amounts of money a company needs to pay to its employees. After installing the application, navigate to Payroll > Configuration > Settings, the 3341 or 334 account is automatically suggested at the General Employee Payable Account section. You can change this default account depending on your company's usage.
While creating and confirming a payslip, journal entries will be created and register the employee payable amount in the 3341 account.
Note: You need to install the Payroll management app to_hr_payroll.
Configure default advance account on employee's profile
For the employee advance payment, the accountant needs to register the total amount in the 141 account according to VAS. Navigate to Employees > Employees, and select an employee to see the advance account 141 automatically selected at the Advance Account field in the Accounting tab.
While doing the employee advance process, journal entries recording the advance payment will be automatically created and the advance amount will be registered in the 141 account.
Note: You need to install the Employee Advance app (viin_approval_employee_advance).
Besides, the 141 account will also be used as the destination account to record the employee's payment to the company.

In the Electricity costs, enable the Analytic Distribution feature then indicate the percentage for each department.
