Payroll Summary report

My Payroll Summary Report in the Browser does not have a total and showss superannuation unlike the one in the instructions for comparing the Year To Date Verification report.

 

When I use the desktop to compare the two reports, they look like the reports in the instructions and the total balances.

 

Why does my browser Payroll Summary Report look different? I need a total to check it balances.

    Hi S_L_M,

     

    I totally get why you're wondering about the differences. It can be a bit confusing when the browser version of the Payroll Summary Report doesn’t show totals or superannuation, but the desktop one does. You're absolutely spot-on noticing that difference!

     

    The thing is, the browser report is designed to focus just on payroll categories. It’s like a specific snapshot that doesn’t include extras like totals or super details. It’s just the way it’s set up. But don’t worry, you’re not missing out on results. To double-check everything properly (totals and all), the Payroll Activity and Payroll Register reports are your best bets. These reports show the full story and are way more in sync with what you're used to on the desktop.

     

    For more detailed information on this, here's a helpful link you can check out.

     

    Regards,

    Sai

    Thanks for your response Sai. My BROWSER report DOES show superannuation etc and NO bottom line total which makes it harder. it doesn't just focus on payroll categories like the example on the website whixh doesn't show super and has a bottom line total. A total would help a lot.  I find the DESKTOP Report much simpler because at least it has a total and is not cluttered by extra detail. My BROWSER report does not look like this https://www.myob.com/au/support/myob-business/payroll/single-touch-payroll-reporting/end-of-year-finalisation-with-single-touch-payroll-reporting Your advice to compare the Payroll Activity and Payroll Register works for me. It's just that the online instructions say to check both.

    Hi S_L_M​,

     

    Thanks for providing your helpful feedback! I’m sorry for any confusion earlier, but I really appreciate the effort you’ve put into comparing the Payroll Activity and Payroll Register reports. This is definitely the best approach to verify the Year-to-Date (YTD) figures. These reports complement each other and are specifically designed to help ensure accuracy in your payroll reporting.

    Regards,
    Sai
