I have a client for whom his accountant processed a bonus payable from the last fiscal year (ending Oct 1st 2015). His entry was to CR bonus payable and DB wages and salaries. This ends up showing the wages in last fiscal year. However, the bonus is not payable until Mar 2016. The accountant said this will be part of his 2016 T4. When I process this through the payroll module I assume I should link the bonus income to the payable account rather than the wages & salaries account, however, it does not allow me to link to anything but an expense account. Is there not an easier way to process this than having to go through multiple steps? I assume if I can't link to the payable account I'll have to do a GJ entry to manually clear the payable account (CR wages DB bonus payable) after processing the payroll entry through the payroll module.
