General details for Payroll
If you generate a bank payment from a source document (such as an employee pay list), its general details are automatically prefilled. You can edit them.
To learn more about the general details fields, see the following table:
| Field | Description |
| Cash flow item | A cash flow item assigned to the payment. You can view the cash flow item in the Cash flow report. |
| Base document | The source document that registers a payment request. This field is automatically prefilled if you generate a bank payment from another document (such as an employee pay list). It is recommended that you edit this field only if you are creating a bank payment from scratch. |
| Amount | The total payment amount in the payment currency (the currency of the bank account to pay from). |
| <payment currency code> | The payment currency. It is automatically filled with the currency of the selected bank account. The field is available if the Foreign exchange accounting checkbox is selected in Settings > Cash management. |
