Hi Mary53, thank you for reaching out.

To deduct an advance payment from an employee's paycheque, you can select the employee's paycheque and enter the advance payment amount with a minus sign.

Here’s how:
 

1. Go to Employees and select Employee Centre.
2. Locate the employee and open the paycheque where the advance payment was made.
3. On the Advance item, enter the amount with a minus sign (-) and click OK.
   
4. Click Save & Close.
    

Once you've completed these steps, the advance payment will be updated accordingly in the YTD (Year-to-Date) column.

Feel free to reply here if you have any further questions or need additional assistance.
