Hi,

i cannot tag any accounts to payslip deduction items. how to i remedy this?

[Joseph_Chew]

i finally figured it out after 1 week lol.

you have to create a control account under employees then you can tag it under deductions.
i did it a few times but don’t know why its working now. well. hope this help others.

You have to create things before you can select them.
First you need

• a basic chart of account
• Employees
• Payslip items

then you can create payslips and recurrent payslips

See the guides

• Employees: Enter employees | Pay employees
• Payslips: Set up payslip items | Issue payslips | Set up and manage recurring payslips

and see

Advance salary option?

Hey, how to allocate money if an employee is taking salary in advance and it should reflect on his account. And also how to set a date for employee salary payment day? I mean i give away salary on 2nd of every month so it should automatically show me that i should pay salary to so and so employee , in employees tab?

• a basic chart of account

• Payslip items

Advance to Staff

You are correct, @Ashish_Mishra. I apologize for my faulty memory. While there are 9 categories for custom control accounts, employees are not one for some reason. Employees can only be used with the built-in control account, Employee clearing account. You could, however, set up a control account made of special accounts and create a special account for every employee to whom you make an advance. That is not as convenient as automatically having all employees available. But, assuming you are no…

Employee personal advance account

For advance to staff, you don’t need separate account. Just pay employee more than your owe them as per payslips and allocate the amount paid to their employee clearing account. Their employee clearing account will be in debit. In future, when you print payslip, Manager will automatically recognize this debit amount as employee payment in advance.

@Joseph_Chew, when you create a control account for employees, the only subsidiary ledgers you can assign to it are employees. An employee can only be assigned to one control account. Everything related to that employee will post to that control account. As an example, you might create different employee control accounts for employees at different locations. But you should not create different control accounts for different purposes, such as ordinary payroll and advance salaries.

The screen shot you included in post #4 does not illustrate that you cannot tag employees to the control account. It illustrates that you have not yet assigned any employees to that control account. Your employee, Kim Darapikol, is assigned to the Employee clearing account. None of your employees are assigned to Advance Salaries/Loans. And they should not be.
