Hi lsjodin:

It appears you do not have any linked accounts setup for payroll. Are you going to use the payroll module? If you are you will need to setup the linked accounts for payroll payable accounts and payroll expense accounts. If you are not going to use the payroll module then you will have to turn it off by doing the following: go to your main menu, select setup, user preferences, view, then untick employees and payroll and the employees window icon. This should stop engaging the linked accounts for payroll.

Hope this helps!

Thank-you!  it did help!  I am not using payroll for this particular company.... it is just my daughter's dance club that is a non-profit parent run club.  I only use Sage for creating invoices for parents and we use it to track payments received.  So I had removed some of the payroll accounts from the Chart of Accounts and not hidden the whole modules which I should have just done.  As soon as I hid the payroll module it stopped requiring me to link those accounts.

I am glad this worked out for you. You are very welcome!
