Part of a pay run returned due to incorrect bank account

Hello Myob,

At the end of the financial year, one of our employees updated his personal details and opted to have two bank accounts listed on his card file. He requested that $50 be allocated to one account and the remaining balance to the other account.

After completing the first pay run in the new financial year, I noticed that the $50 was returned to our bank due to an incorrect bank account number. I have since confirmed the correct bank details with the employee and updated this in his card file.

I am now unsure which account to use when I record this transaction of $50 using the Receive Money, considering the pay was processed and reported to the ATO and has now been returned to our bank account.

Could you please advise on the appropriate steps to take in this situation?

Thank you

  • Hi Valy,

     

    I see you're having a hiccup with recording the returned payment to your bank. No worries, I'm here to help! Record a “receive money” transaction with the correct bank account as the “deposit to” account. As for which account to allocate this transaction to, that's something your accountant can guide you on, as we can't provide financial advice. But I found this post that might give you some background information on the topic. 

     

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

     

    Cheers,
