Project and pay terms

IDs and project description; clients, vendors, and employees

Ajera does not use an ID to uniquely identify clients, vendors, or employees. Instead, it relies on the Description (or name) for a unique identifier. While working in windows and using reports in Ajera, you most often work with the description.

Projects

With Ajera, you have ultimate flexibility in assigning and using project IDs.

While working in windows and using reports in Ajera, you can often use both the project ID and project description. When you enter a project description, it must be unique. You cannot have two projects with the exact same name.

You can choose to print the project ID on client invoices by selecting the Setup > Invoice Formats > General tab > Print Project ID check box. The project description always prints automatically.

Give your projects good, descriptive names.

Pay

Pay = a type of pay

In addition to describing an employee's pay (compensation for work performed) in Ajera, there are also pays.

A pay is simply the type of pay, such as Regular, Vacation, and Overtime.

If you are either outsourcing your payroll or using Ajera to process your payroll in-house, you will see the term pay. You will probably first see this term when you set up payroll in Company > Payroll > Pays.

Pays do the following:

Capture employee wages
Appear on the employee check stub
Have a unique general ledger account assigned to them
Are used to track accruals for in-house payroll

Terms you can change
