multiple source deduction categories

Question

I have a client who has 2 locations for their business. They are now going to split them out to keep all income and expenses separate (used to be combined). Not a problem for the income and expenses as I can create separate accounts for each location. 
 They are also setting up a separate bank account for each location. 
 The problem I have now is for payroll. I know I can set up payroll expense groups to track their salaries, EI, CPP & WCB expense separately but I don't know how to deal with the source deductions part. Sage only allows the 1 set of existing EI, CPP, tax and WCB payable accounts to link to (far as I know). However as each location will pay their own source deductions (t hey will be setting up a 2nd payroll account under the existing business number) I need to be able to record the payables separately but I don't know how or whether Sage can do that? If it can, where do I do that?

 When you first set up the departments assign the GL accounts you want to use with the department. See the screen shot as an example:

Hi Nancy: 
 Just run a G/L by account for the accounts and departments you would like.

Hi Nancy: 
 This will work if departments are set up for each employee and departments must be setup for your payroll ledger accounts I.E. EI, CPP & IT or if you additional deductions or benefits. You can run a G/L, TB, BS or IS which will show you the departmental breakdown. 
 Hope this helps!
