Richard: perhaps you should remind us again what it is you are
getting stuck on?"

won't work for you the way you need, but what happens if you select
the transaction and choose File > Print Checks...? You could do a
test output to file (say, PDF) to examine the results. I just did
this for a cash account transaction and it created a document as if
the transaction were a check. While I use the Business Features,
this transaction wasn't involving them at all. In short, you should
theoretically be able to print any transaction in any account as a
'check'."
Placing the various splits for payroll into an entry in a checking
account and then File -> Print Checks cannot not be used for payroll:
* The memo or account path for each split is nicely printed to a check
stub so a cheque might be able to provide paystub detail.
* However, the problem with this method is that payroll has expenses
and liability account entries. In that, there are negative and
positive entries that change their negatiive/positive when saving
the transaction. So, split amounts on the stub are wrong and
transaction split entries are recorded wrong.
However, when doing payroll as a voucher, line entries go in correctly
and can be printed as a report for a pay stub. When printing a check for
the voucher, the 3 voucher check prints one account line - payable
transfer or the main entry Meme when using SPLITS-ACCOUNT and
SPLITS-MEMO in the "voucher.chk" file. for format.
I am pasteing in what printing the voucher can look like for payroll
paystub (with redacts for sensitive information since I used a clients
name and my business Gnucash books for a test). I also included a line
if payroll advances are used. The yellow highlights are what I am
working on to address with a request.
* Different tax number for payroll vs HST with the last 6 digits
RT0001 versus RP0001
* Blank lines have an amount in total and so are not blank.
* There is no needs for a tax line
* The payment comment does not work for payroll
* The last line - is not appropriate for payroll
Thanks Richard
