After the pay run, payroll journals are categorized by the default accounts in the Employees settings. This is to make sure that the transactions from the bank are recorded properly. Then, credit the liability accounts later on.
To match the payments made for payroll, we'll have to add the transaction from the Banking page.
Here are the steps:
On the left panel, click Banking and choose Banking.
Select the bank account used for paying the employees, and find the transaction.
Click the transaction to expand, and select Add.
From the Transaction type drop-down list, choose expense and assign the account as Payroll Clearing.
Select Out of scope for theTax code, andthen click theADDbutton.
