  • 1.  Payroll General Ledger Account Posting

    What's the best way to have one employee's the salary expense posted to a different general ledger account then the one specified in payroll department maintenance?

    The end user has employee divisions.  There is one employee in one of the divisions that needs to have the salary expense posted to a different general ledger account then the one specified in payroll department maintenance.  One way would be to create a new department for this employee but that is not an option.  I think we could set up a new earnings code only for this employee and assign the GL account to the new earnings code.  Is this the best option?

    I believe this can be done.  I entered some test data in a test company and it seems to work.

    Create a Labor Code in Payroll, Setup, Labor Code Maintenance. Assign the general ledger account number in the Wage Expense Account Field.  Assign the labor code to the employee in Payroll, Main, Employee Maintenance, Pay Defaults tab, Labor Code field.

    Per the Sage help menu "This account number is used when payroll earnings lines that reference this labor code are posted to the general ledger during the Daily Transaction Register update process. Leave this field blank to use the earnings expense account defined in Earnings Code Maintenance or, if that account is not defined, the standard payroll expense account defined in Department Maintenance."
