Deleting a duplicate pay run

I was processing pays for 27 staff and when I tried to record the pay it timed out. I then had to close MYOB. The pay was not there when I started MYOB again so I reentered the pay details and recorded the pays and sent to ATO. When I went to create the bank file, there were two pays for each staff member. I created the bank file with 1 pay entry for each staff member. 

 

I checked STP reporting and one file was sent to ATO and the other was marked "not sent". How do I remove the entries that are sitting in Prepare Electronic Payments screen.

 

I have tried to deleted them in the transaction journal but it will not let me.

  • Hi HayB - thanks for the question.

     

    To remove transactions from the Prepare electronic payments screen, just select them and create a bank file. You don't need to upload this bank file to the bank - so you can simply delete it.

     

    I hope this helps!

    Hi

    The exact same thing happened when I was doing my pay run.  I was told it was the internet but obviously it was a MYOB glitch. I  contacted Myob and I had to go in and reverse every second transaction for each employee.  I now find that I have two entries in Prepare Electronic payments.  A negative and a positive figure for each employee.  I have tried what Adrian suggested for four previous entries in electronic payments and they are still there.  I would like a suggestion on how to remove my entries too.

    Thanks

    Hi bunyippreschool,

     

    Looks like you're having a little trouble with your pay run and electronic payments, but don't sweat it, we've got your back! You've got two ways to clear transactions from the "Prepare Electronic Payment" window. First, you can select the transactions you want to clear and download a bank file. Your second option is to create a new clearing account. This might vary depending on your situation, so it's best to check out these two links below: 

     

    Feel free to get in touch if you need more help.

     

    Cheers,

  • How do I remove a duplicate pay run in MYOB and the ATO STP record.  The report has been accepted in STP.

    Hey koyston,

     

    If a duplicate pay run has already been reported to the ATO and the STP report shows as accepted, you won’t be able to delete it from the ATO side. What you can do is remove the duplicate pay run in MYOB by reversing it. This creates a negative entry that balances out the original run. After reversing, send an update event through STP to correct the ATO record. This way, both MYOB and the ATO will reflect the correct figures.

     

    Cheers,
