    Hi TheRob 

     

    Categories in AccountRight are added on a per transactional basis, with only one category allowed to be added to the one transaction. This is unlike jobs, which are transactional line basis thus allowing multiple jobs to be allocated to the one transaction (or with payroll to a transactional line).

     

    As the Category function only allows one category per payroll transaction you would not be able to split a pay between multiple categories naturally. The only way to do it through the Payroll module would be to process one pay associated with the one category and then process a second pay for the employee with the second category.
