How do partial Pay EFT pmts get matched to a single Pay Run amount in MYOB Business? [Recently we paid a Pay in 2 separate EFT Xactions - Now we cant MATCH these to MYOB's Pay record]

     Our solution was to create a payment/deposit to our MYOB-linked bank account, equal to the full pay amount, from a separate/personal bank account. Then create an equal payment from our MYOB-linked bank account back to our personal bank account.

     This allowed us to allocate the two partial Pay pmts and the newly created deposit to 9-2000 Incorrect Imported Transactions. AND, to match the newly created single payment to the actual Pay. Voila! and QED.

     

    This was much simpler for us than reversing a whole Pay Run for multiple employees and re-doing the Pay Run.

     

     Please feel free to use and share this work-around with others.

    .. extra info:- When I try to MATCH either of the 2 bank Xactions with the Pay record I get a 'red-outlined' warning msg across the top of the screen reaading: "An unbalanced transaction may not be recorded".

    Hi thill 

     

    Thank you for your post. 

     

    To help you with resolving your issue, you may need to reverse the original pay run then reprocess it like how the amount was paid/split from your bank feed transactions. After processing payrun you would now be able to match the payroll transaction with the bank feed transaction.

     Dear Princess, unfortunately the suggested solution is messy and would end up misrepresenting what actually transpired, with the MYOB record having two Payslips, whereas the employee already has the single correct Payslip.

     Note: The employee was advised of need to split their pay across two bank payments and gave their approval for doing so. 

     MYOB already allows matching of "unbalanced transactions" such as partial payments against invoices, and splitting payments/withdrawals across Bills. In the interests of efficiency and accurate records, MYOB Business should allow for the matching of partial employee EFT payments against a single Pay Run record/transaction.

     Could you please appeal to MYOB programmers for the provision of the requested functionality?

     

    .. thank you, Thill 11-7-23
