We can map expense accounts processed from payroll in the Payroll Settings page, @helenlin81.

 

You also have the option to assign employee wages to their own expense account. I'll guide you how.

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Payroll Settings.
  3. In the Accounting section, click the Pencil icon.
  4. From there, you can choose the desired account from the drop-down menu.
  5. Select OK.

 

For more details, check out this article: Payroll accounting preferences.

 
You can also read through this article on how to set up payroll accounts in the Chart of Accounts window:
