Payroll Register is different to the year-to-date summary because I have changed payroll categories

Question

Good evening,My payroll register summary and Payroll activity (detail) report are the same and match the profit and loss. The issue I have is that the year-to-date verification is different.I went thru each employee's income summary (...)&nbsp; &nbsp;and discovered that the difference is a parking reimbursement and toll reimbursement done in the wages. I believe the issue is that the ATO Reporting Category has been changed.I changed the ATO Reporting category to Not reportable and did a nil pay run for the individuals that were effect by this.When I look in the reporting centre, the individual reports are correct, but this has not updated the Payroll register/payroll Activity (detail) and the profit and loss report.How do I get my MYOB reports to match the correct certification report?When you change the type ATO Reporting category, does the history stay the same, or is there a way to change it?Thank you, Kathy&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;KathleenB&nbsp;

Thanks for your post. The AccountRight payroll reports get their data from payruns processed. The STP reports get their data from the employee card&gt;&gt;Pay History and filter by the ATO Reporting Categories. Payroll categories assigned the Not reportable ATO reporting category are not reported in STP so it is correct to see a difference between the AccountRight payroll reports and the STP reports.
&nbsp;
With regard to the P&amp;L, employee reimbursements aren't a payroll expense so shouldn't be included in the Salary and wages expense account. In the Employee reimbursements payroll category the option Override Employees' Wages expense account should be selected and the applicable liability account selected. The Help Article, Employee reimbursements, has detailed instructions for setting up and paying reimbursments.

Please let me know how you go with this.
