Welcome and thank you for getting help with your employee's deduction, controller13!
I understand you want to have clean books. You’re actually doing a great job about adding a deduction item and ensuring it uses the account you also used to categorize the credit card purchase. We can double-check that in the Accounting section of your payroll settings, where you'll see the accounts you use in payroll.
- Go to Settings ⚙, then Payroll settings.
- Select Edit ✎ next to Accounting.
- See what account is assigned to Cash Advance. You can change it from there. Then, if you want to reflect that change to the previous payrolls of the employee, select Edit ✎ next to Want to update existing transactions, then add a Start Date. That date should cover the pay date of the payrolls you want to reflect that change for.
By achieving the said setup, you should see two opposing transactions in your credit card register. One from payroll and one from online banking.
I'm available for any follow-up questions or any concerns with payroll. You may also check about reconciling an account for your reference in the future. Take care!
