Payroll Summary/Register - Payroll Activity/History mistmatch

Can someone please advise how I correct the figures on two of my reports which are not matching. 

My Payroll Summary, Payroll Register and STP EOFY figures all align and are correct, which is great as these are the figures the ATO have.

However after multiple reversals and attempts to correct an incorrect payrun back in early April, the Payroll History and Payroll Summary reports are incorrect and overstated. This seems to have occurred with two of the four employees. 

I'm reluctant to do any further reversals as I'm worried about throwing out the figures on the reports that matter. Has anyone had this happen and how do I fix these two reports without it affecting the reports that are now finally aligned and correct.

    Hi Lola1957,

     

    I can understand why you’d be hesitant to make any more changes, especially now that your Payroll Summary, Payroll Register and STP EOFY figures are all lining up correctly. Since those key reports are already correct, I’d avoid doing any more reversals for now. What you’ll need to do first is identify exactly where the difference is in the overstated reports. If the incorrect amount is less than what it should be, check whether any pay runs were reversed too many times. If that’s happened, the fix is to reprocess the pay run. Just a heads-up, you can’t reverse a reversed pay run, so the next step would be to reprocess it instead. If you compare the affected employees and pay runs between the correct reports and the overstated ones, that should help narrow down which pay run needs to be reprocessed. If you’re still having trouble after that, it’d be best to reach out to our live chat support through our virtual assistant, MOCA, or submit a case via My Account so they can take a closer look.

  • Thanks Sai, that's what I suspected. However the incorrect amounts are actually OVER by a substantial amount on the Pay Run History Report and the Payroll Activity Reports. I actually need to REDUCE the amounts on those two reports. Is there some way I can journal the extra amounts out?

    As mentioned it involves two employees only and I can easily identify how much extra for each by comparing these to the amounts on the correct reports.

Looking for something else?
