Automate payroll JV sync to Tally via greytHR Unite
Updated in September - 2026 | Subscribe to watch greytHR how-to video
Payroll admins using Tally for accounting need to manually export Journal Vouchers (JVs) from greytHR and enter them into Tally to keep payroll records accurate. This process is time-consuming, error-prone, and lacks real-time updates, making payroll accounting harder to manage.
With the integration of greytHR Payroll and Tally via Unite Marketplace, payroll Journal Vouchers (JVs) can be directly synced from greytHR to Tally.
View Tally integration in greytHR
To view the Tally integration, from the greytHR Admin portal, hover over the 9 dots and go to Unite Marketplace > Connectors.
Select Tally.
Click Enable, fill in the details, and accept the terms and conditions to activate it.
Note: This feature is only available for users with Unite access, so make sure the right team members, like payroll admins, have the right permissions.
Create a rule for syncing payroll data to Tally
On the Tally page, go to Rules > + Add Rule (or the edit icon on an existing rule).
In the Configure Rule window, filter the data using Department and Location — both mandatory — and optionally by BGV, Designation, Company, Attendance Scheme, Grade, and other fields as needed.
In Please select the salary components and account types for your Tally Chart of Accounts, choose each Salary Component from the dropdown, match it to the corresponding Tally Account, and set the Type as Debit or Credit.
Use + Add Row to add more mappings, and the delete icon to remove a row.
Click Update Rule to save.
Note: You can create multiple rules for different departments, locations, or other criteria.
Sync payroll Journal Vouchers to Tally
On the Tally connector page, click Sync Data to Tally.
In the Rule Selection window, pick the rule you want to run. This screen also shows the Last Ran On date and Status (e.g., Active, Failed) for each rule, along with a Run action.
Click Run against the required rule. Confirm the Payment Cycle (monthly) and choose the Payment Month (year and month).
Click Run Now.
Review and publish the journal before it reflects in Tally
Once the sync runs, a journal preview opens showing the Updated Journal (and Old Journal, for comparison) with each Salary Component, JV Item, Amount (Rs), and its Debit/Credit type.
Set the Journal Date.
Note: If updated values are found, a checkbox confirms "There are updates in the Journal values. Please preview the changes before publishing. Old Journal values will be deleted once published."
Click Publish to confirm. The Journal Successfully Updated displays, then click Publish again to complete it.
View the synced Journal Vouchers in Tally software
Open Tally, and go to the Day Book for the relevant date. The synced entries appear as Journal vouchers with their Debit Amount and Credit Amount. Select a voucher to view the full entry (e.g., Accounting Voucher Alteration), showing the debit and credit particulars and narration.
