The Chart of Accounts (account master) is the list of general ledger accounts a payroll can book to. It's maintained per payroll and referenced by WageType-Accounting-Allocation when mapping wage types to accounts for the accounting posting document. Which chart of accounts a payroll starts with is determined by its accountingData regulation (e.g. a country-specific KMU scheme).
FAQ
Is the chart of accounts shared across payrolls?
No - it's maintained per Payroll.
How does an account get used on a posting document?
Through WageType-Accounting-Allocation.
Can I change an account number later?
Yes - settings can be changed any time; historical postings are not affected retroactively.
What if the account I need isn't in the list yet?
Add it yourself - "Add a lookup value" above extends the chart of accounts with a new account number.
Can I delete an existing account? Which ones exactly?
Only accounts you added yourself (not ones delivered by the base regulation), and only if that account isn't currently used as a debit or credit account on any wage type mapping - deletion is blocked while it's in use.
