Understanding Accounts Payable Integration

To streamline business processes, you can integrate the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable system. When you set up accounts payable integration, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system automatically creates vouchers for payroll taxes and other payroll liability amounts. You can set up payees for any tax type or deduction, benefit, or accrual (DBA). The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system can create vouchers for these payees for employee withholdings and company-paid benefits and taxes.

Nearly every voluntary and involuntary deduction from an employee's paycheck is followed by a payment to a third party for the associated liabilities. For example, the money that is withheld for payroll taxes must be sent with any matching employer contributions to the appropriate taxing authorities. Voluntary amounts that are withheld for employee benefits, such as medical insurance and retirement contributions, must be sent with any applicable employer benefit contributions to the insurance or pension plan administrators. Court-ordered wage attachments, such as garnishments and child support payments, must be sent to the designated agency or individual.

If you are using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system in conjunction with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable system, you can easily automate the tasks of calculating the payments that are due to each third party and generating the associated accounts payable vouchers. Review-level (pro forma) vouchers are created in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll system during the journal entries step of the payroll cycle. Actual vouchers are created in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable system during the final update step of the payroll cycle.

When you integrate the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable systems, you can:

  • Review voucher information.

  • Create vouchers during the final update step of the payroll cycle.

  • Post vouchers to the general ledger.

This process flow illustrates how vouchers are processed during a payroll cycle:
