Hi finance-365sport,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community!

 

At the moment, you can only assign one default account for wage expenses on your payroll Chart of Accounts. To check:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll tab and select Payroll Settings.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts.
  3. Click on Default Accounts.

 

After you finalise a pay run, payroll journals are automatically exported to QuickBooks Online and it will be allocated to the accounts you've set up on your payroll Chart of Accounts. You may consider ticking on Split by location for Wages Expense Account, if you would like to track wage expense on different location or branch of your business.
