Updated over 2 weeks ago

The VAP/Payroll link allows you to record and approve payments to employees in VAP (using VAP/Payroll Payment Input) for specific work.

To set up the VAP/Payroll link:

  1. Create a "dummy" internal subcontractor record. This internal subcontractor record needs to be set up as exempt from CIS tax and not VAT registered. Set the VP/EMP-SUB parameter to the account number of this subcontractor.

  2. Set up a standard certificate definition for VAP/Payroll payments, with no costing or payment lines (since these will be derived in Payroll not Subcontract Ledger). Set the VP/EMP-CERT parameter to the code for this certificate definition.

  3. Set up a matrix-style subcontract record to hold the rates for the employees who will be paid using this method. This subcontract must use the certificate that is identified by VP/EMP-CERT. All employees on the subcontract must use the same rates; If employees have different rates from each other, you need to set up separate subcontracts.

  4. If you want, attach employees to the subcontract. Only these employees will be available when entering payments for this subcontract.

    1. Open the subcontract record.

    2. On the Employee tab, add the employees who can work on this subcontract.

  5. Alternatively, leave the employee list blank; this means any employee can be selected when entering payments.

  6. Using the PR parameter VAPITEMS, enter a list of pay items that are valid for use with the VAP/Payroll Link.

Parameters

  • PR/DEFVAP - Default VAP payment method

  • PR/VAPITEMS - Items that can be updated from VAP

  • VP/EMP-CERT - Cert definition for internal employees

  • VP/EMP-INP - VP/PR timesheet input payment validation

  • VP/EMP-SUB - SC Account code for internal employees
