Had an employee leave while he had an outstanding payroll advance, decided to write it off. Accountant entry was Dr. Salaries Exp and Cr. Advance Receivable did that as a JE and now get error, advances and accrued adv don't match (because it does not know which employee). Could you please confirm that I have to un fire him and do an actual pay cheque for the amount of the advance ?? maybe 1 general holiday for the amount he owes ?

Hey Jody, You'll need to edit that employee and on the Payroll Info tab, you just need to set the Accrued Advances box to $0.00. You shouldn't need to re-hire the employee to do this.
