No, payroll has no direct connection with job costing in DBA. Instead, jobs are costed at Work Center labor rates, which are averages that approximate your overall hourly cost for direct labor.
Is there any double entry between DBA and payroll?There is virtually no double entry between DBA and payroll. DBA includes a Workers table that stores the worker number, last name, and first name of each production worker who submits hours against jobs. When you create a new direct labor employee in your payroll system, you must also create a corresponding worker record in DBA.
Do job hours have to agree with payroll hours?No, they do not. Job hours and payroll hours are not the same thing and have different purposes. Job labor hours are optional, whereas the reporting of payroll hours is mandatory. Production workers are not always working on jobs and have downtime for meetings, training, and other purposes. You should collect payroll hours separately from job hours using a time and attendance system of your choice.
