How can I link bank transfer transactions to an employee's payroll paycheque? We did a direct transfer in 2 small amounts because we don't have the cheque.

We processed payroll, generating a paycheck for the employee and recording an amount of X in the bank balance. However, since we didn’t have physical checks, we split the X amount into two smaller transfers (due to the daily transfer limit) and sent them to the employee’s bank account. This resolved the payment, but now we have two separate bank transactions that we’re unable to link to the single payroll paycheck. I’ve tried multiple approaches, but each has resulted in unbalanced accounts.

Intuit support suggested excluding these transactions, but that feels like sweeping the issue under the rug. Any help would be appreciated!
