Elaine, wear your black belt proudly. You have earned it. While my answer is
different and does require one less step in all fairness yours is an
excellent method and deserves reward.

What is sad is the fact that there are many out there that waste time
entering each payroll check manually into QB.

My method is to simply subtract the outstanding payroll disbursements from
the bank statement balance and enter that number in the ending balance field
of the bank reconciliation form.

At the end of the second month you reverse the o/s entry from the first
month and redo those items as 2 parts again -month 1 cleared during month 2
and month 1 o/s at month 2 , then do the second month entry in the same
fashion . You can't do it any simpler.

Read my lips, TOO COMPLEX. KISS.


Who will get the Allan Martin Black Belt? Is there no grasshopper among
you? I would call upon our friend Tara but I'm certain she enters each
payroll check manually. Can't blame her, I would do the same if I got paid
by the hour doing it that way..

Screw your simple challenge.

Each employee's time has to be allocated to a job or overhead and they have more
than one office which has to be class tracked. Just to make it interesting, the
offices are in different states.

Feel up to it Allan?

Since there are tens of thousands of QB users that my challege effects
directly on a daily basis it is only fitting that we not stray from the task
at hand. Who will take the Allan Martin Black Belt challenge?


If it makes you happy the answer to your question is simple. If an outside
payroll service is used then the journal entry used to post payroll must
include job and class information.
