Payroll mapping

Hello there, momentumriver.

I understand the importance of allocating salary employees to a different account. However, the option to do so is unavailable. We understand your need and would love to hear your thoughts about your experience by sending feedback on your QuickBooks Online company.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear menu and then select Feedback.
2. Type in your feature request in the description box.
3. Once done, click on Next.

In the meantime, you can use the class tracking feature. It'll allow you to categorize transactions for better reporting and analysis. It can allocate payroll expenses to specific classes when mapping an employee to a different account, providing a more detailed expense breakdown by category.

Furthermore, you may want to look at a third-party application to help map salary employees to a different account. You can find one by visiting this website: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/app/apps/home/.

Please visit our Firm of the Future page periodically to stay updated with the news and updates.

Additionally, I've added articles below for more information on class tracking and managing payroll preferences:

• Set up Payroll account preferences
• Get started with class tracking

You can also check this link to view details about your business and employees: Run payroll reports.

I want to ensure you're all set, and I'm here if you need further guidance mapping employees in Quickbooks. Take care.

The class tracking does not solve my issue. I need the salary categories to be broken down. 

Just switched NOT by choice to online and we are having the same issue and it is a huge problem  What was a simple task in the desktop version has become a nightmare.  We should not have to create journal entries after every payroll to assign wages to different categories. Just processed first payroll yesterday and waiting to see where things go.  If Quickbooks is going to force customers to go online ALL features and functionality should be available.  We also have customized reports that did not transfer over at all.  This migration has created much more work for me at a much higher price. Time to start looking for alternative programs. Desktop should never have been discontinued.

And support is an absolute joke.  They have no idea how the software should work or limitations.  The feature that is supposed to "re-map" transactions by employee (and not hit the cash account) does the exact opposite.  It will remap the cash side (causing you to have to re-reconcile EVERY payroll wage transaction for the date range selected.)

Software is like a beta version and should never have been released to the production environment with these bugs in it!
