Something I used to do every payday in Reckon Accounts is not available in Reckon One.
That is to allocate and employee's ded'n to a gen.ledg. a/c other than the few that is listed to pick from.

Our manager has a loan a/c which we used to repay by taking a set amount off his pay each month. It had no impact on PAYG or Super or taxable wages.

Now it can only go to either a liability a/c or a few specified items which appears to be find if you want to then make a payment to clear it out.

But we don't. It does not let me code it to his loan a/c.

The answer I get from support is to journal it out every month - what a waste of time and effort when it should be able to be coded directly.
Why must there be such a restriction?

    What is your loan account set up as?

    It is in Non-Current Liabilities, this is where it was in the Reckon Accounts where this same deduction worked as intended. The Migration moved it and payroll and everything else to Reckon One, not always to the best accounts. This deduction was one of those. For payroll Migration put the current year's deductions to Current Liabilities - Payroll Liabilities - the main heading account. It was a few months before I found out it the deduction wasn't going as intended. The Reckon help I had setting up wages didn't highlight any of this.
    Part of the mess was that migration put last year's Payroll & Wages Liabilities, some into Curr.Liab. under heading Wages, and others also in Curr.Liab. but under the heading Payroll. I have been able to move them all under the same heading since, but for Super I was not able to code current yrs super to the same account as where migration put last year's to, as R1 doesn't allow it to go there, so I am stuck with prev.yrs history under one account and curr.yrs.history in another.
    This deduction seems to be another similar problem, not being able to code items to the accounts where they should go.
    I realise I can do journal entries to transfer them, but this is rather a clumsy solution,
