You can set up a payroll item called "Advance Pay Back" or whatever name you choose and make this item a deduction to net. For this item use an account called "Payroll Advance" - set this account up as a current asset.

Actually you should set the Payroll Advance account up as type - Accounts Receivable and call it Payroll Advance Receivable. Everything else should stay the same.
I tried following the instructions. But when I try to create the payroll item, it assumes I'm creating either an expense or liability - i can't assign it to an A/R.
