Hi, I updated the link to my bank account as requested, I then ran payroll but this is not registered in the accounts so I cannot match the payments - any idears?

Hello, @sheila32. 

After running payroll, you'll have to create an expense transaction using a payroll clearing account to match the payment to the employee. A Payroll Clearing is a liability account that holds the payable for employee's wages. 

When using the Standard Payroll version, the bank account you use to pay an employee is already included in the journal entry. You no longer need to record an expense transaction in the system.

To set the bank account where the journal entry will post, here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Account and Settings.
2. Go to Payroll and change the Net pay account.

If you're using Advanced Payroll, you'll have to record an expense transaction and post it to the payroll clearing account.
