Amount in Payroll Liabilities does not match detail when drilling down

Hi,

I have an amount of Salary Sacrifice Superannuation of $1,320 (4 weeks sacrifice) showing in the Payroll Liabilities area for 1st June to 30th June 2018 that does not match the detail when you drill down on the arrow on the left of the line (detail is showing $1,650, 5 weeks sacrifice which is correct). How does this happen and how do I reconcile?

See attached screenshots.

Thank, Cindy

  • Hi ALF

     

    Welcome to the MYOB Community Forum, I hope you find it a wealth of knowledge

     

    Find Transactions will show all transactions for that particular category, whereas, Pay Liabilities will only show transaction that hasn't been processed. So if you are finding that the values don't match up I would be checking to see if a value in that period was actually been paid by mistake.

     

    You can check if a pay liability has been paid by running the Payroll Liabilities by Category report, located in Reports>>Payroll>>Payroll Liabilities, for that particular liability type and date range. For example, you would be looking at running it for 01/06/2018 - 30/06/2018 for the Liability: Superannuation and Payroll Categories: Salary Sacrifice Superannuation. This will show what the status of that liability will be i.e. if it has been paid or not paid. If it has been paid then it would be included on Pay Liabilities transaction already thus is not showing in the Pay Liabilities window value.

    OK thanks, but how do I go about running this report if I have already rolled over the payroll year? Each time I try to run it for 1/6/18 to 30/6/18 it defaults to 1/6/19 to 30/6/19? Do  I have to reinstall a backup I did prior to rolling over?

    Hi ALF

     

    The Payroll Liabilities by Category report is not a report that is not governed by the financial/payroll years as such can be run for past payroll years and even across payroll years.

     

    To do this select the required date you wish to run the report for in the Dated From date and the ending date you wish in the To date field before selecting to run the report.
