Cash Payment for wages
Hi Ravinder
Thanks for your post. All pays do need to be processed through Process Payroll, as such, you would never record a Spend Money transaction as this creates a duplication of the actual payment.
The first thing I would recommend checking is the Payroll Linked Accounts. You can do this in Setup>>Linked Accounts>>Payroll Accounts. Check that the linked account for Cash Payments is the bank account.
If you are withdrawing the cash from the bank, when processing the pay change the Payment Method to Cash. This will also change the Pay from Account to the bank account as per the linked account above.
A withdrawal will be recorded in the bank account to match with your bank feeds, so you don't need to do anything else.
If you are taking the money from Petty Cash, process the pay the same, ie change the Payment Method to Cash. Then you'll need to record a Transfer Money transaction to transfer the payment from the bank account to the petty cash account. To do this:
- go to Accounts
- open Transfer Money
- Transfer Money from: Petty cash account
- Transfer Money To: bank account
This will record a withdrawal in the Petty Cash account to match the actual withdrawal. It will also record a deposit in the bank account which you will match with the withdrawal from the pay transaction, effectively clearing each other out.
Please let me know if you need further help.
