Payrun appearing twice in P&L

Hi - my payrun is appearing twice in my P&L, one as payrun transactions and one as spend money transactions. I do not use the single touch payroll yet so prepare my payrun in MYOB and then do payments in bank which come via bank feed in Myob. Until now, all those payments in bank feed did not come with any "match found" so I have been categorising as "payroll - wages & salaries". Clearly I am doing something wrong so please let me know how to fix it

    Hey HarmanpreetK,

     

    Looks like your P&L’s showing double wages because the bank feed payments haven’t been matched up with your pay run transaction. This usually happens when employees are set to be paid electronically. The bank file isn’t downloaded, or the linked account for payroll isn’t quite right, so you end up manually allocating “spend money” instead of matching the bank feed to the pay run. You'll need to delete the spend money, and when the bank payment comes through in your bank feeds, match it straight to the pay run transaction instead. That’ll tidy up the report and keep your payroll looking spot on.

     

    Cheers,

  • Hi Doreen,

     

    Many thanks for your response.

     

    Is it possible to sort the older transactions from April onwards? Also, am not sure if I follow how to delete the spend money transactions. Is there a link to a detailed guide t fix this issue?

     

    Thanks

    Hi HarmanpreetK,

    Yes, it’s possible! You’ll need to delete the spend money transaction that’s linked to the bank feed so you can associate the pay run with the bank feed instead. If the pay run is set up as an electronic payment, you’ll also need to prepare the electronic payment so the transaction moves to your bank account and can be matched with your bank feed.

    Quick tip: In the transaction window, you can actually right-click and select "Delete" to remove it. Deleting a transaction
