Employee Expense posting to G/L without posting to Payables

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Does anyone know if it is possible to post Employee Expense costs to the G/L without having to post to Payables Management first?

Thank you

    I realize this is an old post, but wanted to share a possible solution to this issue. You could setup a dummy checkbook where the GL account is the contra expense account you wish to use. You would allow the project employee expense posting to payables. Then on the expense transaction, you would enter a cash or check payment (in the more info button) to offset the "on account" amount. This will result in a zero dollar invoice posting to payables.

    We want to accumulate costs to a project using the employee expense transaction; however we do not wish to create a payables in the sub-ledger. We simply want the G/L to be updated with the accounts set in the Cost Category but without affecting the payables sub-ledger.

    Yes, I know how not to post to Payables Management but if I do so, nothing goes to the G/L. Just like you can post to the G/L using Timesheet Transactions without posting to payroll, I would like the same to be true for EE. Based on my tests, I now questioning whether or not it's possible. I was hoping someone knew the answer.

    Thanks.

    What is the scenario you don't want to post to payables management?

    If you don't want to post to payable management, you can select Microsoft Dynamics GP>Tools>Setup>Project >Employee Expense, and need uncheck Post to Payables Management.
