Using Dynamics 365 for HR Payroll Processing

Dynamics 365 HR payroll is the perfect solution for businesses who want to save their time and make payroll processing a stress-free function. Here is how you can use this amazing tool for error-less HR payroll processing.

Step 1: Generation and Releasing Earnings Statement

The very first step in Dynamics 365 HR payroll is to create an earnings statement. There are multiple options available to generate earnings statement. One can either use the form in HR payroll module titled as “Generate Earnings” or create each earning statement separately or through integration. After generation of Earnings Statement you can either release the statements separately or you can choose “All Earnings Statements”. And after this step, a pay or earnings statement is generated in Dynamics 365.

Step 2: Reviewing the Pay Statements

The next step is to review pay statements. In order to open pay statements, simply navigate to the payroll option followed by the pay statements and then choose the calculated pay statements. Here you will be able to see all the details of the employees such as their working hours, earning statement details, benefits, tax and other particulars.

Step 3: Releasing Pay-Statements

After thoroughly reviewing pay statements, the next step is to release these pay statements. There are two ways this step can be completed. One can either release pay statements separately for each employee or through the main grid, they can select multiple pay statements, this is then followed by the submission phase where the user has to choose the Submit for Payment option. Every time this option is selected, a payment journal will be created.

After submitting for payment, a form will appear on the screen in which the user will confirm their submission. This confirmation will post the payment statement at this very instant. A wise approach is not to post the payment because after posting the pay statement, no changes can be made.

Step 4: Creation of Payment Journal

This step is not carried out by the user but Dynamics 365 itself creates the payment journal. The processing of these payment journals has to be carried out by the user. For this purpose, the user must navigate to the payroll option and choose pay statement processing followed by the selection of the option titled “Payment Journal”. This allows the user to process any journal they want to.

Step 5: Posting Pay Statements

After the processing of the payment journal is done and the payment is made, now you can easily post the pay statements. For the posting of the pay statements the user simply has to go back to the payroll option, choose post pay statements and it is done.

Step 6: Setting the Pay Cycle

Setting the pay cycle is the last step of the entire process, Dynamics 365 HR payroll system will automatically post the pay statements that fall into the criteria set by the human resource department. Here the period is defined to set the pay-cycle.
