How to change which expense account payroll items are sorted into

One employee has a monthly per diem payment set up. However, this payment is being sorted into the wrong expense account when payroll is recorded; uncategorized expense rather than travel. I want to change which account this payment is being sorted into going forward.

 

Thank you
