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

[hvc1]

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 @hvc1,

Thanks for your post. 

In this case, I would recommend reversing that original pay run and then reprocessing the pay run/s accordingly. Steps on reversing a pay run below:

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?

Thank you.

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:

• To reprocess successfully paid super contributions

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

Hi Sam,

I followed the instruction in link provided to reprocess paid super contribution.

It solved the problem in the Pay Super window, but now I have an amount unreconciled in bank rec. window.

I can only see the Pay Liability transaction not the reversal.  Have I missed something?

I have attached screenshot of pay liablities transaction + bank reconcialiton window.
