The accrual journal
Basic salaries, allowances and the employer's GOSI share, on the expense and accrual accounts, within a minute of approving the run.
Payroll journals from Basmtak HR
The approved payroll run arrives as a posted journal — with no re-entry
For Basmtak HR customers: approving the run there creates the accrual journal in your books with the GOSI share, then the payment journal when it is paid, split across branches and departments and linked to its source. The rest of the product works fully without this link.
Available from the Pro plan
Hosted in the Kingdom
The payroll accrual journal as it arrived from HR: basic salaries, allowances, the GOSI share and the accruals — balanced and posted.
What it does
Payroll journals from Basmtak HR
The payment journal
When salaries are paid, the payment journal arrives and clears the accrual against the bank.
Branches and departments as cost centres
The branches and departments HR already knows are tied to cost centres in the books, so you read every branch's cost in its reports.
Final settlements and advances
End-of-service settlements and employee advances arrive as their own journals too, each with its key.
A source key on every journal
Redelivering the event cannot create a second journal, and the journal carries a link back to its run in HR.
HR knows what was posted
After posting, HR shows a "Posted to Basmtak Books" marker with the journal number.

Common questions
Payroll journals from Basmtak HR
Do I need Basmtak HR to use Books?
No. Books is a standalone product that works fully on its own. This link is a feature for those who use both, and you can add HR later without moving your books.
What if the run is redelivered or re-approved?
Every event carries a source key; a repeated delivery finds its journal already there and creates no second one. If approval is withdrawn and given again, the first journal is reversed and the new one written — nothing is deleted.
Is payroll split across cost centres?
Yes. The branch and department are on every line as in HR, and the cost centres in the books are tied to them once.
