Entitlement set-up

Hi, I need to know when accruing leave, how to assign it to a different expense account (Annual Leave Expense Account) . It by default coming up as "wage expense account".

Hi Baiju 

Thanks for your post. Typically, leave is not allocated to an expense account until it is paid, as such, it's not possible to link an account to Entitlement accrual payroll categories. If you want the paid leave to be allocated to a leave expense account you would need to select that account in the Annual leave Wage payroll category by ticking Override Employee's Wage Expense Account and choosing the applicable account.

If you are tracking leave as a liability you would need to set up a liability account and an expense account and link the liability account to the Annual leave wage payroll category. Then record General Journals to update the accrued liabilities.

Please let me know if you need further help.
