1. I'm glad you persevered, Richard, there were some of us that thought it was workable at the beginning.

2. I get to see your attachments, I know other people's software and the digest strips some of them.

3. There was never any question in my mind of gnc handling the accounting, I thought you were more concerned with the pretty printing.

4. it is good that you don't need inventory, I have some pointers if you do.

P.S. you have mis-spelt "Contribution" on one line.

P.P.S well done you!

Thanks William,

I have Payroll working using Employee Vouchers without needing to tweak anything program-ways... using off-the-shelf choices for reports and printing reports. I can share it, but each time I attach a file or paste in a snapshot, they do not end up in the Gnucash-user Digest. I have again pasted the pay slip and attached it as a pdf to this email - in case it gets through.

For those who can see the Pay slip attachment, the deductions and remittances are going to their Short Term liability accounts to later submit to the federal government. I put a pay advance deduction in to let people know that if you create a short Asset like Wage Advance with the employee's name, then having originally entered the advance as a positive item in a voucher or directly in a checking account, the pay advance can be deducted from the pay check using the same short term asset Wage advance account. This is something that most small businesses need to track as they give themselves drawings from their sole-proprietor business but then later need to balance it into a payroll for themselves.

I actually do not need to do inventory. However that said, I do not see a problem if I need to have a small amount of inventory items. After all, whether Sage, Quickbooks, or another program, they all run using the same basic bookkeeping principles with assets, liabilities, income, expenses, etc. But yes, there is no point in running a retail store's inventory with Gnucash.

Thanks everyone, Richard

    gnc I don't know of anyone that has managed to do it efficiently
    as part of a business.  If your inventory management and payroll
    issues add up maybe gnc isn't the software for you.  Do you need
    something like Odoo as suggested?  Probably not, there is another
    tier below.  Let us know how you are getting on."
