How can I edit or change the General Ledger account used for Payroll entries?

Verify that the correct General Ledger account is being retrieved:

See How do I determine the source of an expense account for my payroll entries? or search payroll help Topics for "How General Ledger accounts are assigned." and verify that the correct accounts are set up.

If the status of the check manual or printed, void the checks:

To void a check or direct deposit, see How do I void a Payroll check or direct deposit? below. After voiding the check, continue below. NOTE: if the check is for a prior year, or period, you can choose to enter a journal entry in General Ledger to correct the GL account.

If the status of the check is New or Processed, correct the check:
