After reconciliation my employee journal entries show up a loans. Can I set a rule transactions between two dates only

Hello there, stuarthy. 

It's possible that we entered a loan account when we created the employees Journal entries. The option to create a rule transaction when reconciling is unavailable. We'll have to manually open them and modify it from there.

We can open the employee journal entry and change the affecting account to the correct one. 

1. Go to the Accounting menu and select Chart of Accounts. 
2. Select one of the affecting account and click View register. 
3. Look and click on the Journal Entry and select Edit. 
4. Change the loan account to the correct one from the Journal Entry page. 
5. Click Save and close. 

Any changes wit you transactions will reflect in our Audit Log report. 

I'll be here if you need anything else. Thanks!

The journal entries where created through the payroll each time I paid the employee but since reconciliation some of the journal entries now show up as loans to the employee I need to get them back to journal entries to keep my records straight. The question about rules is can I set a rule to operate for one transaction type ie cost of labour  between two dates 

Thanks for getting back to us, stuarthy. 

We can look into your payroll set up and accounts used for running payroll using Journal Entries. I suggest getting in touch with us so we can sort things out with you. For creating rules, it's available in the Banking page for bank downloaded transactions. I sent a feedback to our Product Development Team and attached this thread as their reference. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Help icon and click Contact us. 
2. Enter your concern like reconciling your account and employee journal entries shows as loan.
3. Click Let's talk.
4. Select to either Chat or Get a callback. 

Here's an article that we can check out when running payroll and reconciling an account. 

Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!
