Hello AGMAIN,
I really appreciate all those details and I can absolutely help you with this situation to make sure your payroll gets entered correctly and you're able to pay down the invoice.
Since your payroll is processed through a third-party and you're only manually recording the details via journal entry, it's as simple as adding a line to the transaction and treating it like other deductions you might already be including. If you're not already recording deductions in the journal entry and aren't sure how to do it, I recommend touching base with an accountant to make sure that you're getting the details right.
Next, you'll want to record the payments on the invoice. All you'll need to do is use the Receive Payments feature and create partial payments for the amounts being deducted from the payroll cheques.
If there's any sort of account maneuvering you'd like to do, wherein the deduction from the journal reflects into the accounts receivable somehow, I once again suggest going with an accountant because they'll know how to properly navigate that sort of situation.
If you don't already have an accountant and would like to connect with one that knows the QuickBooks Desktop program, take a look at our Find a ProAdvisor website. This allows you to enter your postal code to search for accountants near you who know the program.
I hope that helps! Keep an eye out in case some of our community accountant users respond on this thread with their insight as well. Have a great weekend.
