How do I set the default payroll item that is used when an employee creates a time entry in Minute7?

From a Minute7 user’s user preferences page, you can set default payroll items for QuickBooks employees who are set to use time data to create paychecks in QuickBooks

When you select a QuickBooks Employee or Vendor for the user you are editing, the available payroll options for the Employee or Vendor will appear below under the heading Payroll Settings. Note that your Minute7 account must have “Show Payroll” set to Yes, and you must have permission to “Edit Payroll” in order for the Payroll Settings to appear.

The available payroll settings will vary based on which QuickBooks Employee or Vendor is selected. Vendors cannot have payroll items assigned to time entries in QuickBooks, so no default payroll item can be set for Vendors. Similarly, employees who are not set to “Use time data for paychecks” in QuickBooks cannot have payroll items assigned to time entries.

For Employees who are set to “Use time data for paychecks” in QuickBooks, a default payroll item can be set. This is the payroll item that will be sent to QuickBooks with all time entries for the selected Employee unless a user with the Edit Payroll permission changes the selected payroll item for a specific time entry while entering time in the Minute7 timesheets.
