Integration between BitaBIZ and your payroll system

BitaBIZ supports out-of-the-box integration with your payroll system – simple and flexible.

General information

✅ All or selected registrations can be automatically transferred to your payroll system.

✅ If you have multiple payroll systems – e.g., in different countries – each payroll system can be configured and integrated individually.

✅ If you have multiple companies in the same country linked to one payroll system, BitaBIZ can be set up to accommodate this.

Getting started with payroll export

Click: Payroll Admin > Export > Export with period management

1. Select report

Select your payroll system from the list:

2. Payroll export setup

Click Setup next to your selected payroll system.

  • Check the boxes in the setup form for the event types that should be included in the payroll export.

  • Insert the salary part codes/absence codes for the registrations that should be updated to your payroll system.

💁 For payment of balances: Enter the relevant salary part code in the setup form. This is used, for example, for payment of vacation balance, hour bank, or remaining vacation days.

3. Salary part / Absence codes for specific employee groups

If you have different salary part / absence codes for certain employee groups (vacation, other vacation, sick days, child sick), these can be configured on each policy.

Click: Setup Admin > Modules > Policies > Edit

ℹ️ Absence codes added on a policy override the standard absence codes set in the setup form on the "Export with period managment" page.

4. Setup of pay rates and registration types

Create job codes for:

  • Time registrations for payroll payment

  • Overtime for payroll payment

  • Other absence (leave types and unpaid vacation)

  • Custom registration types (on-call shift, travel with allowances, etc.)

💁 Follow the instructions below...

A. Time registrations (for payment)

Click: Setup Admin > Modules > Job codes


Create job codes such as "normal hours," "evening hours," etc., and add the relevant salary part codes:

B. Overtime for payment

Click: Setup Admin > Modules > Overtime / Time off


Create job codes for overtime for payroll payment, specify salary part codes, and add them to the payroll export. Mark that the hours are For payment:

C. Other leave (leave, unpaid vacation)

Click: Setup Admin > Modules > Policies > Edit


Job codes for other leave are created on your policies, and a salary part code is added to each job code.

Job codes created for other leave are linked to a policy by checking the box in the policy. This way, different policies can have access to different absence types.

D. Custom registration types

Click: Setup Admin > Modules > Custom registration types


Create your own event types, such as "on-call shift" or "travel with allowances," and link them to the appropriate salary part code.

5. Payroll files for absence & salary parts

Does your payroll system split payroll data into two separate payroll files – one for absence and one for salary parts?

If yes, you must set up integration for both payroll export reports in BitaBIZ.

You can select and configure the reports under 1. Select report. They will be named "Absence" and "salary parts" respectively.

Examples of payroll systems with separate files for absence and salary parts:

  • Visma

  • Lessor AX

  • Lessor NAV

  • Lessor 5

  • Lessor D365

  • Lessorløn

  • Epos

  • KMD Perspektiv

ℹ️ Important: If your payroll system uses two files – one for absence and one for salary parts – it is important that Custom registration types are not used for both absence types and salary parts.

Our recommendation:

  • Use Other leave for absence types

  • Use Custom registration types and Time registration for salary parts.

6. Absence calculated in hours

Should Other vacation, sick days, time-off , etc., be calculated in hours?

If yes, you must create standard work hours on your policies and/or on each employee's master data card.

If your payroll system needs to be updated with absence hours, you must choose the payroll file for your payroll system that is configured for "Absence w. workhours".

Example: "Lessor NAV (absence w. workhours)"

7. Multiple companies on the same account

BitaBIZ supports having multiple companies on the same agreement/account in your payroll system.

This is handled via your created policies in BitaBIZ.

Click: Setup Admin > Modules > Policies > Edit > Enterprise settings

Enter the company ID, e.g., company registration number, in the applicable policy under Enterprise settings > Company ID.

ℹ️ It is important to assign your employees to separate policies in BitaBIZ that belong to the same company/country.
