Employee Advance

Overview

Employee Advance records cash advances given to employees, such as salary advances, trip advances, or penalties. It is closely linked to Vehicle Invoices and Expense Entries, and facilitates cash flow management for employee-related expenses.

• Reference Expense Entry: Links to the related Expense Entry.
• Reference Adhoc Entry: Links to an Outward Bank Payment (for tracking payments).
• Advance Type: Select from Salary Advance, Trip Advance, or Penalty.

Using the Employee Advance Form

• When an Employee Advance document is submitted and remains unpaid, a Create Outward Bank Payment button appears, allowing you to initiate payment processing.
• Clicking this button will open a payment dialog to process payment for the advance.
