Hi Adrian, First of all, to understand the structure of the components in OFBiz, look at the link provided below. It has answers to most of your questions
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/Component+and+Component+Set+Dependencies Also, extending applications is done either at the entire component level, in a custom component, or simply by extending the webapp without touching the component itself. More tips are found in below link https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/FAQ+-+Tips+-+Tricks+-+Cookbook+-+HowTo#FAQ-Tips-Tricks-Cookbook-HowTo-ExtendExistingComponent Finally, probably someone can give you better tips here but I believe payroll is usually managed from the accounting side (I need to double check the code before I'm solid on this). Either way, if your purpose out of the payroll is automation and integration with say your bank account for example, then customization is unavoidable anyway!
