Expenses via payroll

Hi All

Expenses incurred by an employee are paid as part of wages and they are automatically recorded in net wages, do I need to record this payment elsewhere?  I am thinking a journal entry into the relevant nominal code but am unsure how to do this as the expense has already been recorded in net wages.  Not sure how to word this so apologies in advance.

  • Hi Fiona, 

    Thanks for using Sage City.

    If they've already been taken in to account in the net wages, when the journal was posted across, you shouldn't need to do anything else. 

    Just make sure your journal entry in Sage looks ok.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Thanks for your answer but I am a bit unsure what you mean.  The expenses were re-imbursed to the employee via their wages.  The wages are posted from Sage Payroll via the nominal link to Sage 50 Accounts as a whole, there is nothing to show that a part of these wages are an expense.  Do I need to do anything else. Kind regards Fiona

    Hi Fiona. 

    If the expense has been included in the net wages then you wouldn't need to do anything else. 

    You can post a journal to move some value from net wages nominal code, to another nominal code for expenses if you wanted to, but it's up to you.

    Kind regards,
