After finishing payroll, you need to inform the accounts team to update their software and release the salary using a Journal Voucher (JV). A JV includes income, deductions, and net pay. Creating a customized JV template can make it easier to upload the data to the accounting software.

The JV Template page in the greytHR Admin portal allows you to customize the JV template and generate the final JV output based on these templates. The page displays a list of all the JV templates. You can also edit/delete the existing templates on the page.

To view the JV Template page, click the Settings icon > System Settings > Payroll > JV Template.

⚠️ We recommend you to contact the greytHR support team before making any changes in settings.
