Hi All - We've historically booked all employee compensation to a single GL Account "Salary" tagged with the employee's department. This gives us the ability to look at total comp by month but also filter by department when needed. We no longer want to show "Salary" on our P&L but would instead prefer to split into relevant department salaries into other functions (R&D, Sales and Marketing, G&A, etc.). Is anyone doing this without breaking the chart of accounts?

It depends if you use a custom or out of the box P&L. Also depends how you would like to book it from now on (e.g. which account will you be using?)

You can book it to Salary and then split it out using an Allocation Schedule. The Account will still exist but should theoretically be zeroed out each period.
