Integrations Zoho Books Payroll Integration for Sri Lanka
Zoho Books Payroll Integration for Sri Lanka
Post every Humanised pay run to Zoho Books as a journal: salaries, EPF, ETF, APIT, stamp duty, loans and reimbursements, mapped once to your chart of accounts.
Zoho Payroll has no Sri Lanka edition, so Sri Lankan businesses on Zoho Books run payroll elsewhere. Humanised runs the payroll and posts the journal to Zoho Books after each confirmed run.
Supported Zoho Books editions
Humanised connects to Zoho Books cloud accounting through the official API. If you also use Zoho People for HR records and want the two systems aligned, ask us about a custom integration, which we build at cost for a specific setup.
How the integration works
Each confirmed pay run posts one journal: gross salaries by department, the employee and employer EPF and ETF contributions, APIT and stamp duty liabilities, loan and advance movements, approved expense reimbursements and net pay to the bank clearing account, each to the account you mapped once during setup. Nothing is re-keyed and the month-end reconciliation is a comparison of two identical figures.
Setting it up
- Choose the Accounting Software Integration add-on (LKR 6,000 a year on any plan) and connect your cloud accounting file from Humanised with your login; we never store your accounting password.
- Map each payroll line to an account in your chart of accounts once; your accountant can do this with you on a call.
- Run the first pay run in parallel and check the journal in your accounting software against the payroll summary.
- From then on every confirmed pay run posts automatically; edits and reversals post as adjusting entries.
