# About payroll invoices (PAS)

## Overview

In production accounting, payroll invoices are the formal billing documents that detail the labor costs for a production, including wages, overtime, benefits, and applicable taxes. They serve as official records of payroll expenses that need to be accounted for in the production's budget and financial reporting.

The *Production Accounting Suite* (PAS), automatically syncs payroll data with accounting systems like Oracle NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Acumatica, and creates corresponding journal entries once payroll is funded.

- *Unsaved changes* - When changes to a payroll invoice are made but haven’t been saved
- *Unposted* - After the payroll invoice is saved, it becomes an unposted transaction
