Document Collection and Customization
You’re almost done! Your OBM will support and guide you through the document collection process. After successfully submitting all the requirements for payroll setup and sharing your desired customization when it comes to reporting, our group will acknowledge receipt and confirm we are ready for Go Live!
Talking about reporting, you can now set up your Chart of Accounts and General Ledger Template.
Payroll Ready
You will need to submit a Global Payroll report before the payroll cut-off date. You will go through this process before the go live cycle in case a Parallel Payroll is required to be processed (only applicable for entities that have been running payroll already). See How To Submit A Global Payroll Report for information on submitting the report, browse our Recurring GP Allowances and Deductions and check out About The Global Payroll Dashboard to determine the specific cut-off date for each country, as well as instructions for the Payroll calendar. Additionally, you will be able to Upload documents for Global Payroll Cycles to provide inputs that are not captured in the Payroll Report.

Be sure to review and edit your payroll report so we can incorporate all the additional items needed, such as bonuses, allowances, etc. See How To Update Items On Your Global Payroll Report for more information.
Processing Payroll
You’ve made all the necessary preparations and it’s now time to process payroll. There are several statuses that indicate where you are in the process. A breakdown of each status can be seen in What Do The Different Payroll Statuses Mean?
You will need to review and approve the payroll package based on the report you submitted earlier. Learn more about the review and approval process on How To Review And Approve A Payroll Package.
