I believe I can change the reporting category that was allocated incorrectly for the last financial year prior to finalising EOFY? I have mounts allocated to Allowances (for shift allowance) that should have been allocated to Gross Payments. How do I do it and also then send an event update. I have received a response to say I can do it, but not how to, or how to report it.
I understand your concern about the incorrectly recorded payment for an employee in the 23–24 financial year. In MYOB, if a payment has been incorrectly recorded, there are ways to rectify this. However, it's important to note that reversing a payment within AccountRight could potentially affect your previous bank reconciliations. For more details on reversing APK, please check out this Help article: Fixing a Pay.

Hi LRicey
It looks like you still need to adjust a reporting category from last year and finalize EOFY again. Don't worry—we're here to help! Just remember, you can only make changes for the current and previous financial years. To get this sorted, first undo the finalisation, update the ATO reporting category, and process an update event. This will make sure all your figures are up-to-date. Then, you can finalise your payroll year again. For more details, check out this Help article: Changing a Pay after Finalising Single Touch Payroll.

Thank you. As yet I haven't finalised the 23/24 year yet, I was waiting to see if I could fix this prior to sending incorrect information. Now I need to know how to change it and what happens with the amounts allocated to the category and employees.
Hi LRicey
No worries at all. You can easily update the reporting category for a specific pay item before wrapping up your EOFY. you can do it right from the pay item itself. Just find the pay item you need to tweak and adjust its reporting category. After you've made the changes, head over to STP to send an update event. That way, the ATO gets notified of the updates. Easy peasy!

Hi Princess_R
Just hopping onto this discussion as I have the same issue. In finalising the 23-24 financial year I've realised that a payment for an employee was incorrectly recorded into the wrong category. The submission was accepted by the ATO at the time the pay was processed, and I have no option to reverse the pay within the Payroll Reporting Centre,
In navigating to the pay in question, the category I need to transfer the amount to no longer shows up on the record, accordingly, will I have to reverse the pay from within AccountRight, and will it affect my previous bank reconcilations to do this? Do I also have to reverse and redo the bank recs to adjust the pay?
Thanks
Do I need to amend the figures in both categories for each employee as well? I have changed the pay category now but the figure still remains under Allowances in the YTD report.
