After you generate the payroll for a period, you can post the payroll details in the form of a journal to BrightBooks. The journal is posted under certain pre-configured heads such as Wages and Salaries, Directors Salaries and PAYE Control. To post a journal, you need to first sign up the same Business on both Surf Payroll and BrightBooks and access them with the same credentials. Then you need to map nominal codes with the pre-configured heads and, optionally, map the Business departments with Divisions in BrightBooks. Prior to posting, you may view the journal on Surf Payroll.

If your business has payrolls not submitted prior the current date, Surf Payroll displays a message recommending you submit them soon.
