Accounting guide

Payroll records

Keep supplied payroll summaries together for review.

Plans and access

Accounting and AI include these recordkeeping tools. Free keeps people, membership, donations, receipts and giving insights. Existing accounting history and raw CSV exports remain available to authorized roles after a downgrade; new changes and paid reports need Accounting or AI.

Only administrators can read, create, edit or export payroll records. Staff and member accounts do not receive payroll data.

Complete the task

  1. Have your payroll provider or qualified adviser prepare the payroll figures first.
  2. Open Accounting → Payroll records. Enter the pay period, payment date, currency and supplied gross, deductions and net amounts. Check that the supplied totals agree.
  3. Add external provider/reference details. If linking an expense, use the matching paid payroll expense; the payroll record does not create a second expense.
  4. Review the saved summary and correct or retract an inaccurate record through the available actions. Keep original provider documents in your approved records system.
  5. Filter the payroll report and download CSV or PDF for an authorized reviewer.
Open Payroll records in the web app

Sign in with your church account. Accounting work is available in the web app; native mobile does not expose church accounting or payroll records.

If something needs attention

  • Validation error: keep the draft open, correct the highlighted dates, currency or amounts, and retry. Use whole amounts for JPY.
  • Record changed: reload the latest version before repeating an action. Do not assume another reviewer’s change failed.
  • Access denied or read-only: ask your church’s billing administrator to check the plan and your role. Do not create a duplicate record to work around access.
  • Offline, server or export error: reconnect and retry. An error is not an empty report or confirmation that the record saved. Check history before repeating a payment-record action.
  • Every export, including raw history, requires explicit start and end dates covering at most 366 days, including both dates. Export too large: narrow the period or source. CSV and PDF reports use the same selected scope; raw history exports use CSV.
