Backpay - How to amend incorrect amount allocated to Lump Sum E

Hi,

 

On 28 November I  paid an employee backpay and allocated the entire amount to Lump Sum E 20/21.  I have since spoken with my accountant and only the portion relating to 12 months prior to 28/11/22 should be allocated to Lump Sum E, the remainder is normal back pay.

 

To fix this I tried to process a zero pay by entering the correct amount as backpay categoery and debiting the same amount in the Backpay for 20/21 category. 

 

Myob will not let me process this pay, and I get an error message saying ATO require LumpSum E payments to be over $1200. The amount is -$12,115.52

 

Can you please provide some instructions on how to correct.  Thank you.

      Hi Sam,

       

      Thanks for getting back to me.

       

      I have reversed the original  pay and reprocessed using same dates and allocating  lump sum E correctly

       

      Now when I go the Pay Superannuation window.  The SG super for this pay has reappeared but not the reversal. (to cancel it out)

       

      This super has already been paid to Hostplus.  How to I clear it out?

        Hi hvc1,

         

        If that payment has already been successfully paid, you will need to record it through Pay Liabilities. The below help article will step you through this process:

         

        Do reach out if you had any further trouble with that.
