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!

thanks.  I created a test version of my file and created a couple of departments and assigned employees.   That all seems to work ok.   The only thing is when I run a balance sheet or income statement it shows every single account broken down by department.   Is there any way to only have certain items showing departments?  I already have separate expense accounts for everything else so I don't really need to use departments for regular income and general expenses.  Would just want to show those for which I've allocated to departments to be broken down.

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:

yes, that did it!  thanks!

Excellent and you are welcome!
