@TOR,
comment out lines from 323-328 in /gl/gl_bank.php

// if (!check_num('amount', 0))
    // {
    //     display_error( _("The amount entered is not a valid number or is less than zero."));
    //     set_focus('amount');
    //     return false;
    // }

You will get your desired result. I hope it will not cause any other anomaly in Database.

Yes, it would be. Infact, that is what I have done for now. But would have been great if FA could have given an option to put a negative figure, and that negative figure could have gone to the credit side of Employees Advances. Need to see how it is done in Peachtree and Quickbooks.

Would it be alright to enter a payment voucher for the 10000, and then make a separate journal entry to move the move the 5000 from the advance account to the payroll expense account?

A little confusing case:

02-08-2018 Paid employee advance Rs.5000/- (Vide Bank Account Payment Entry)

GL Entry:
Dr. Employee Advance A/c
Cr. Bank Account

At month end I want to pay employee salary but deduct advance through a single payment voucher:

Dr. Employee Salary 15000
Cr. Employee Advance 5000
Cr. Bank Account 10000

FA, unfortunately (or fortunately) doesn't accept a negative figure through payments module.

I know I can pass a JV. But I want to process the entry through the payment voucher.

HELP? Anyone?
