I have been trying to configure the different items found on a payslip to specific expense accounts; i seem not to be getting the option to choose any expense accounts. It seems to me that the system is set to the default ‘suspense’ account, what could i be doing wrong? ---

Did you read the Guide on payslip items? ([Manager Cloud](https://guides.manager.io/9667)) There are, indeed, default accounts for payslip items, but none is _Suspense_. Unless you change them, properly created payslip items will post to _Wages & salaries_ or _Payroll liabilities_ (or both in the case of contribution items). ---
