Payroll in Indian HRM, books in Marg. Now they agree.

What the Marg ERP integration does

Salary journal auto-post

Every payroll run pushes a balanced journal voucher into Marg with gross wages, deductions, and net payable already split by department.

Statutory dues as ledger entries

PF at 12%, ESI (0.75% employee / 3.25% employer), state PT, and 24Q TDS land in the correct Marg ledgers so your challan and payout figures reconcile.

Two-way employee master sync

Add or update an employee in either system and the name, code, and cost centre match on both sides within the next sync cycle.

Reimbursements and advances

Approved expense claims and salary advances flow to Marg as expense or loan ledger postings, tagged to the right employee and voucher date.

Full-and-final settlement posting

When an employee exits, the F&F entry (gratuity at 4.81%, leave encashment, recoveries) posts as a single settlement voucher you can audit later.

Cost-centre and branch mapping

Map each Indian HRM department or branch to a Marg cost centre once, and payroll cost splits by that mapping on every run after.

Setup in four steps

1. Connect your Marg company — Enter your Marg ERP company credentials and API key in Indian HRM settings, then pick the company file you want payroll posted into.
2. Map ledgers and cost centres — Match each payroll head (salary, PF, ESI, PT, TDS, reimbursement) to its Marg ledger and each department to a cost centre using the guided mapping screen.
3. Match employee masters — Run the one-time master match so existing employees in both systems link by code or name, and review any unmatched records before you go live.
4. Run a test post — Push one closed payroll run in test mode, open the draft voucher in Marg, and confirm the debits and credits balance before enabling live sync.
5. Turn on live sync — Switch the connection to live and choose whether entries post automatically after payroll lock or wait for a finance approval step.

Why customers use this integration

• Finance stops re-keying salary and statutory figures into Marg, which cuts the monthly close by a full day or more.
• Payroll deductions in Indian HRM and ledger balances in Marg tally to the rupee, so PF and ESI challans reconcile without a manual check.
• One mapping decides how cost splits by department and branch, so cost-centre reports in Marg reflect real payroll without extra work.
• Exits are clean: gratuity, leave encashment, and recoveries post as a single F&F voucher your auditor can trace end to end.
• New joiners and updates sync both ways, so a new employee added in Marg does not create a duplicate or a mismatched code in HRM.

Marg ERP integration FAQs

Which way does data flow between Indian HRM and Marg ERP?

Both ways. Payroll journals, statutory dues, reimbursements, and settlements flow from Indian HRM into Marg as vouchers. Employee and cost-centre masters sync in both directions, so a change in either system updates the other on the next cycle.

How often does the sync run?

Master sync runs on a schedule you set, typically every few hours. Payroll journals post the moment a run is locked, or you can hold them for a finance approval step so nothing hits your books before it is signed off.

How long does setup take?

Most teams connect and go live in under an hour. The one-time work is mapping payroll heads to Marg ledgers and departments to cost centres. After that, every future run uses the same mapping with no repeat effort.

What happens if a posting fails or a ledger is missing?

The entry is held, not dropped. You get a clear error naming the unmapped ledger or the employee that did not match, you fix the mapping, and re-post with one click. Nothing posts half-done, so your books never carry a partial voucher.

Will it create duplicate employees or vouchers?

No. The master match links records by employee code first, then name, before anything syncs, and each payroll run carries a unique reference so re-running or re-posting updates the same voucher rather than adding a second one.
