I have question about Payroll. Normally, it will be easy to start afresh using Salay Slip at the beginning of year.
But for the project to go live in the middle of year, where all the earliery slip was done with other payroll software. To migrate all the slips from January is also not easy because there will be some calculation mismatch too.
How do you normally go live in the middle of the year for payroll?
I have faced this issue myself, i had to create salary slips from the beginning of the financial year to somewhat match the calculation but those werent the exact values.
Yes, I think you understand and sharing the same problem. And in fact, the way Frappe calculate is not exactly the same result with local hr package. So, likely, recalculate the previous data will not work.
I would think, the Frappe HR should have a way to import opening salary slip in the way that it won’t recalculate Salary and Deduction.
For example, given an employee with 1000 USD salary. And the project go live in June. The opening salary slip, i.e., May, should allow to manually edit Salary = 5000 and Tax Deduction at any XXX USD.
And when the new Salary Slips start June, it can continue. More like import Opening Balance in accounting system.
