Allocation of regular entries

Access: General Ledger > Allocation > Regular entries

This function allows you to identify the accounts to be debited and credited for each code (earnings, deductions, employer contributions and banks) associated with the regular entries.

Thing to remember

If you are using QuickBooks Online, the Synchronize button allows you to update your chart of accounts based on the modifications you made to your QuickBooks chart of accounts. Accounts can be blanked out in the breakdown if they were deleted in QuickBooks. In the event that accounts were added or modified, however, you may need to update the breakdown.  

To view your updated chart of accounts, click on the Chart of accounts hyperlink in the message displayed at the top of the screen following the synchronization.
