Can't find where Online Standard Payroll has posted my first payroll run in chart of accounts

Hi Annette9

In this case, the journals not creating could be linked to the chart of accounts that have migrated from Desktop to Online. It would be a case of creating in accounting>chart of accounts the chart of accounts needed and then for this period manually creating the journals for the payroll using the + symbol and journal entry.

The chart of accounts you would need to create is as follows

Payroll Expenses: Wages with sub-accounts of Non-Statutory Pay, Statutory Pay, and Statutory Pay Recovered.

Payroll Expenses: Taxes with sub-accounts of National Insurance Employer and Statutory Pay Compensation

Payroll Expenses: Pensions with sub-accounts of Pension Contributions ER

Payroll Liabilities: HMRC with sub-accounts of PAYE, National Insurance Employer, National Insurance Employee, Student Loan, Postgraduate Loan, Statutory Pay Recovered, and Statutory Pay Compensation.

Payroll Liabilities: Other Deductions with sub-accounts Misc Deductions

Payroll Liabilities: Pensions with a sub-accounts Pension Contributions EE and Pension Contributions E

Once the journals are done then in the next period it hopefully will pick up the chart of accounts exist and automatically do the journal entries for you when you run the payroll.

Hello annette9,

It should post it to the payroll liability chart of account for you.

if you go to accounting>chart of accounts> in search bar type payroll and it should bring them up for you.

Hi Ashleigh1

I've looked there and there are no postings there. This is my first payroll using Online, submitted to HMRC without any problems but now can't find where it has been posted to. Unless there is something wrong with the setup, support chat said same as you.

Would it be because I'm using Standard version and not Advanced

Hello, @annette9.

Let me share some insights about your first payroll run in QuickBooks.

It seems you've used a different account on your payroll settings. You can check and review the journal created when running the payroll.

Here's how:

Go to the Cog Wheel icon and select Accounts and Settings.
Select Payroll.
Go to the Journal Mapping and verify the net pay account used.

Once done, you can go back to your Chart of Accounts and view the register used for your paycheck account.

Keep in touch with me here for all of your QuickBooks needs, I'll always have your back. Thanks for coming to the Community and take care.

Hi

I've already done this - it is set as current account as only two choices current account or petty cash.

My payroll just doesn't appear in any of the chart of accounts

I can print a payroll history and it shows there, I just can't find it anywhere in the accounts. there are no journals raised, it doesn't appear in balance sheet or profit/loss reports

Coming to the end of my patience with it at the moment, to be honest Desktop was far easier, seriously considering cancelling and just sticking with desktop and importing a standalone payroll system.
