Configure Vision to Post Contribution Expenses and Liabilities to an Employee's Organization

You can post expenses and liabilities related to employer payroll contributions by an employee's organization.

If you follow these steps to configure Vision so that the majority of your contributions follow the employee’s Organization, you can still override the organization for a particular contribution and post employer payroll contributions to the project set up in Payroll Contribution Setup. For example, if all your contributions should follow the employee’s organization with the exception of 401k, you could choose to distribute the debits and credits in the Accounting Company Settings form, and then enter a project in the Project field on the Payroll Contribution Setup form for the 401K contribution.

To track and post employer contributions by individual organization, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Vision Navigation menu, click Configuration > Accounting > Company Settings.
  2. Click the Organization tab.
  3. Select one or more of the following options:
