Trying to correct the account that a paycheque came out of. I used to be able to just edit the account in the cheque. Now i cannot. How do i fix?

Hi kimber0,

It's nice to see you in Community.  Welcome!  QuickBooks Online Payroll provides the flexibility you need, to ensure employee paycheques are recorded accurately.  It's important that the associated transactions are mapped correctly, to ensure your accounts remain balanced.  I'd be glad to assist!

Let's start with taking a look at the account mapping by following these steps;

1. Open your Settings ⚙ and select Payroll settings

2. Click the Edit 📝 in the Accounting section

3. Open the Wage expenses section by clicking on the Edit 📝

4. Make the necessary changes and hit Done

To correct the account for a previous paycheque, you'll need to delete the paycheque, then run payroll again, ensuring the Pay schedule and Pay date are accurate before proceeding.  Be sure to select Paper cheque, for this pay run.  You can also create a journal entry to move the funds to the correct account, so you can reconcile without error.
