It doesn't seem to be possible to "Categorize" the deduction into an account. Edit Paycheck only allows editing of the amount to deduct.

What would be the best way to direct the deducted money to a Current Liability account used for tracking an employees debts? A journal entry will work, but no one likes doing those. A transfer?

It sure would be nice to be able to just pick the account on the paycheck page, so if I missed it please let me know.
