Recommended methods for updating allowances
We recommend using one of these two options to update allowances:
Update individual employee records: Amend an allowance.
Bulk update via the Payroll module: Bulk update allowances.
These methods include built-in checks and validations to help ensure accurate processing.

In some situations, you may prefer to bulk update allowances using the Data Migration tool. For example, during initial payroll set-up. Use the steps in this article to upload allowances and download the template file.
