Attache Payroll: Payroll clearing account used instead of bank account in General Ledger posting

If a bank file was not generated as part of the pay process the net pay will appear in the payroll clearing account in the General Ledger.

It is the generating of the bank file that creates the entry to the Bank account. Even if you have created the bank file but responded 'No' to the last message 'Was the transfer file created successfully?' then this too will cause the entry to go into the clearing account.
​

Another scenario is when you are reversing pays. You won't be generating a bank file for this and so the net amount will appear in the payroll clearing account in the General Ledger.
​

Use a General Ledger journal to manually move these amounts in the bank account as required.
