5. Click the Wage Account drop-down and pick the expense you want to use.
6. Press the Reimbursement Account and choose the correct category type.
7. Then select any of the following options:
   *I use different accounts for different groups of employees
   *I use different accounts for different wages.
8. Click OK to apply the changes.
