Hi CarlBenton
Do you use a PAYE clearing account (2-xxxx) in your journal - rather than journalling direct to the bank account.
This will allow you to code the individual wages to the clearing account to offset the one entry fro the journal.

Jennie,
Thank you for your response. I am not sure I understand so I will provide some more information. It is not the PAYE that is the issue, it is the transactions for the employee payments from our bank account.
When Payroll posts it into our AccountRight file, it adds separate transactions for the gross pay for the Wages & Salaries account, however it only adds a single transaction for the net pay for the Daily Account (our actual bank account). Because the wages are paid to each employee separately there needs to be a transaction for each payment, so we have to split it up to create multiple transactions in the Daily Account to match to the actual payments. See the attached screenshot.
We can't obviously pay our employees with a single payment, so why does Payroll group them into a single transaction? It does not make sense.
