In case, you want to do multiple entries you need to create debit and credit Account Tags, and then assign the tags to expense and asset accounts. The tagged accounts can then be used to create an Accounting Rule.

For example: To create a payroll posting rule, create a debit Account Tag, “Payroll”, and assign it to each Expense Account you want available for payroll debits. Then , create a credit Account Tag, “Cash,” and assign it to each Asset Account you want available for credits.
