Hi brickhousebookkeeping,

 

Let's check if you have set up a location in your QuickBooks Online account. If so, you can import them for use in your payroll account. Here's how:

 

  1. Click on the Settings icon/Gear Icon.
  2. Click on All List.
  3. Click on Locations.

 

From here you'll see the locations you've entered. You can then import them using the steps below.

 

  1. Click on the Employee's tab.
  2. Click on Payroll Settings and then Locations.
  3. From the locations screen, click the Import QuickBooks Locations option on the top right hand side of the page.

 

Then, let's check if the employee's location is set correctly. You can check this under employee's detail and click location. Here's how:

 

  1. Click on the Employee's tab.
  2. Click on the employee name.
  3. Click on Locations.
  4. Check what is selected from here, selected locations will appear as options when processing the employee's pay run.

 

Also, check your payroll chart of accounts to see if you've set split by location.

 

  1. Go to Employees tab, click on Payroll Settings then click Chart of Accounts.
  2. From the Chart of Account, click the Defaults Chart of account.
  3. For each journal transaction type that you want classes and locations to be assigned to, click the Split by location option against each transaction type. In this case, we're going to split the wages expenses by location.
  4. Click Save.

 

The final step is to process a pay run. Ensure that your earnings lines for your employees are allocated to the correct locations. Once you've created and finalised a pay run your payroll journals will be posted with the specific location/class assigned to them.
