Posting payroll to the general ledger

What you will be able to do when you finish: read a confirmed UAE payslip's journal entry line by line and say what every line is for, explain why an amount can no longer disappear into a silent Adjustment Entry, follow the order in which the seed finds an account before it creates one, name the six accounts this module creates and the six it reuses from the UAE chart, give the real reason 201004 is not used for net wages, and reseed a UAE company that was created after the module was installed.

Who this is for. You keep the books for a UAE company, and payroll arrives in your ledger as somebody else's journal entry. This is an Intermediate course. It assumes you can read a journal entry and know what a payslip run is; it does not assume you configured the payroll rules or that you have ever opened the mapping screen.

How to follow along. Everything named here belongs to the module odoone_l10n_ae_payroll_account, and every screen sits under the Payroll menu. There is nothing to install — the module is auto_install, which means it appears by itself as soon as both halves it joins are present. The neighbouring courses cover what this one deliberately leaves alone: course 4.1 covers the salary rules themselves, course 4.3 the end-of-service and annual-leave provision runs, and course 4.4 the payment side, where the net-wage payable is cleared against the bank. This course is about what the ledger receives, and nothing else.
