Manual p/r cheque issued to employee. Amount is different then amount recorded in QB p/r. How to match the two items and clear the difference to a misc expense account?

Hi Brian,

It's good to hear from you again! I'd be glad to steer you the right path with matching your manual cheque with the one in QBO. 

I recommend editing the cheque in QBO so it matches the manual cheque issued to the employee. Here are the instructions on how to edit a pay cheque in QBO: 

1.     From the left menu, select Employees.
2.     Select the employee's name and select the Pay cheque list tab.
3.     Select the Net Pay amount to see the Pay cheque page.
4.     At the bottom of the Pay cheque page, select Edit.
5.     Change the amount, the memo, or the cheque number. (You'll see boxes around the things you can change.)
6.     Select the name of a section, such as Employee taxes, to see its contents.
7.     When you're done making changes, select OK.

Note: If you need to edit a pay cheque, but don't see the Edit button at the bottom of the screen, please contact us for help.
