Manually recorded super as paid - how to clear from reconciliation

How do people go about reconciling the superannuation payable account when using paysuper?

I am finding this increasing difficult with the bounced back super and the reversals and then not to mention the amounts cleared from the payroll liabilities account by marking as paid the amounts paid manually prior to pay super?

Looking for any suggestions

Hi Juulz 

Thanks for your post. When you process a pay run the superannuation payable liability account is credited. When you process a Pay Liabilities transaction, a Pay super transaction or reverse a pay transaction the superannuation payable liability account is debited. As such, all transactions are posted to the same liability account.

You can reconcile the superannuation payable account in the Reconcile accounts window by matching the pay transactions with the payment transactions and the reversals with the original pay transactions. Enter $0.00 in the Closing Statement balance field and the date of the last payment transaction in the Bank Statement Date field. For example, if you pay super monthly and the February contributions were paid on the 20 March, enter 20/03/2023. Tick the payment transaction on 20 March and all other transactions, do not tick the March pay transactions, the Out of balance should be $0.00 and you can click on Reconcile. When you select that account again in Reconcile accounts only the unpaid March contributions should appear.

Please let me know if you need further help.
