Associating a Vendor With a Payroll Item
In NetSuite, you can set up payroll items and associate that item with a payroll vendor to simplify the withholding and payment of payroll liabilities. Examples of payroll liabilities are social service taxes such as Medicare, social security, unemployment, withholding of payroll taxes, health insurance payments, and 401(k) contributions. The following table provides a list of vendor records you may need to create and associate with payroll items.
