ERPNext HR & Payroll
What is Provident Fund (PF) in ERPNext?
- Provident Fund (PF) in ERPNext
- ERPNext automates Employee Provident Fund (EPF) and Employer Provident Fund (EPF) contributions as salary components, ensuring compliance with the Employees' Provident Fund Act.
Configuring PF in Salary Structure
Add two salary components: "PF Employee Contribution" (12% of Basic, deduction, tax-exempt) and "PF Employer Contribution" (12% of Basic, employer expense). Use formulas: pf_employee = base * 0.12. ERPNext computes these every month during payroll processing.
PF Challan and Returns
The Salary Slip shows employee and employer PF. Export the PF contribution data to generate the ECR (Electronic Challan-cum-Return) for monthly payment to EPFO. ERPNext does not generate the ECR file natively but the required data is available in reports.
