Since there doesn't seem to be a way (already contacted and heard back from support) to classify the Other Payroll Items on the employees' pay stubs, I need to make journal entries to move these to a class.  Can you please provide guidance as to the best way to do this?  Thanks!

I think you can classify the items, which will use the same class(es) as are used in the earnings table. Do you need something different than that?

I have each employee set up for a class in their Payroll Info.  Then I have the Company Preferences under Payroll & Employees set up to Assign one class per Earnings item.  What happens is that the Earnings go to the class that is set up per each Earnings Item Name, but then all of the Other Payroll Items are going to unclassified.  Currently, there is no way to add a Class per each other-payroll item and the class set up for each employee does not seem to work to put the non-earnings items there when I have the Earnings set up to assign per earnings item.  If I set up the Company Preferences to Assign one class per Entire paycheck, it covers the entire paycheck - both Earnings and Other Payroll Items, but that doesn't work for us, as we need the Earnings items classified per item.  So I need to see if there is a way to do a JE to move the Other Payroll Items to a class so that they are not on the unclassified report.

Did you ever come up with a solution on how to class other payroll items?
