Change Account in Payroll Journal

Question

In our MYOB Business&nbsp;Pro, the Bank Account for Cash Payment used to link to Account A, and this account has been closed.&nbsp;However, we forget to change the linked account in setup when we pay our employees. &nbsp;So the payroll journal appears in Account A when we do the&nbsp;reconciliation. And I was not able to change the account in the journal.&nbsp;What would be the best way to fix the account for the payroll juornal that has already been processed and recorded? Do I need to reverse all and process again?&nbsp;Thank you

Hi&nbsp;LatitudeC&nbsp;
Once a payroll has been transaction has been recorded you are not able to change the Pay from account. You would be looking at deleting the pay and then redoing it correctly.
&nbsp;
Alternatively, as you only want to change the account coding on the transaction you could look at recording a journal to bring across the balance of that transaction to the required account. We do recommend speaking to your accounting advisor in relation to that journal entry but Help Article: General journals&nbsp;may be able to assist with that one.
