I am trying to reconcile the above reports. However one employee had a meal allowance. I have used the exemtion and the tax is calculated correctly. However the Payroll Summary is showing the correct figure and the GL report is out by the amount of the meall allowance, GL is greater in wages and Salaries.
Confused and not sure what to do.
Hi Moni_2
In AccountRight there is the option to set a different tracking account in each wage category, instead of using the default wage expense account. You can go to Payroll > Payroll Categories > Wages > click into the allowance category, check if it has 'Override Employee's Wage Expense Account' ticked, if ticked then the allowance amounts will be posted to the selected account below.
This setting above is the current setting and it may had different settings in the past. To view where exactly the allowance amount was posted to, please use Find Transactions to locate the pay which allowance was paid in, it will show the actual accounts used in that particular transaction.
