Project Accounting - Employee Expenses

[02192007]

Hello: I'm a newbie to GP 8.0. Upon trying to enter employee expense reports via project accounting I receive an error "The account payable distribution does not equal the actual amount." The deal is that we only want to reimburse the employee for "cash" purchases. All other purchases need to be posted to the Visa account for later payment. Any help would be most graciously accepted

GP is still a double entry accounting system. You have to have two entries in the distribution, a payable and an expense. It sounds to me like you only have one side of the entry in the account distribution. If you are reimbursing cash, where does the expense get charged to? (Supplies? Meals? Travel?).

Hope that helps.
