Overview of Integrating with Anthology Payroll

Anthology Payroll helps institutions to streamline their end-to-end payroll processes and improve payment accuracy. It is designed specifically for Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, and is integrated with Dynamics 365 Human Resource.

For information on configuring Anthology Payroll, contact your Customer Engagement Representative.

When Anthology Finance & HCM is integrated with Anthology Payroll, institutions can use:

  • The Anthology Payroll module instead of the Payroll module of Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations for all payroll processes, and

  • The Student accounting and Human resource modules to maintain and disburse the Federal work study awards for workers with student role.

Note: Users must be assigned required security roles to work with the Federal Work Study functionality when integrated with Anthology Payroll. For details, see Assign Roles to Users
