Set up PF

An administrator sets PF up once. After that, Payroll feeds PF automatically.

  1. Mark the three PF salary structures

    Open PayrollSetupSalary Structure, edit each structure below, and choose its PF Type.

    PF Type Use it on Its account is
    Employer Contribution The company’s PF contribution (not used by PF transactions)
    Total Contribution Deduction The total PF deducted from salary The PF account
    Loan Repayment The PF loan instalment deducted from salary The loan account

    Each PF Type can be on only one structure, and each needs an active account.

  2. Check the employees

    PF covers employees in the Employee party category. Inactive employees still appear in reports while they have a PF balance.

  3. Give users their permissions

    Permission Allows
    Provident Fund Opening the PF pages and the PF Register
    Create/Edit Transactions Adding and changing drafts
    Post/Unpost Transactions Posting and unposting
    Delete Transactions Deleting drafts
  • The Employee Contribution is worked out as Total Contribution Deduction minus Employer Contribution.
  • The PF Type can be changed later. If the structure has been used in Payroll, TrueFin asks you to confirm (Change PF classification), because past PF balances change with it.
  • Transactions saved earlier keep the accounts on their vouchers, even if a structure’s account changes later.
