if you have already entered your wages journals you should have your PAYE/NI and wages liabilties entered. You just need to enter bank payments to these codes to remove the liabilities 2210/2211 etc.
The wages expense has already been entered with your journal so you dont want to be posting to the 7000s.

Thanks. A bit of a pain in my case as I entered PAYE and NI on separate Control accounts as per your message 2210/2211. But I can see from the bank statements they are paid in one lamp sum. I wish there was a function on sage to pay journals similar to Supplier paymnts where you just click allocate amounts. Ho hum!
One more question. I enter journal from figures from Payroll department. The way it works is that there's around 3 weeks delay between net wages pay and Payroll update. So I have net wages for December on bank statement but no figures for PAYE & NI . I suppose it won't matter if I enter bank payment for net wages 2210 first and then enter the journal when I get update from Payroll?
