Relocate super payment
Hi there, my accountant has requested that i reallocate a super payment made on the 28/10/16 $1,135.43 from 6-8640 Super-staff account because it is a payment not super expense, relocate it to Holding Account. I had paid through Electronic Clearing Account, see pic attached. I thought i'd be able to jus tchange the account number but not so. Can someone please guide me through how to do this? much appreciate.
Hi TSGTanya,
I can see this Spend Money transaction was paid from the electronic clearing account, have you also gone to Prepare Electronic Payments, ticked this payment, clicked on Bank File to record it?
If so, then the electronic payment transaction will lock the Spend Money transaction, therefore you won't be able to change the Pay From account. You can either find and delete the electronic payment transaction, then delete the Spend Money transaction, or change the Pay From account, or use a general journal to reallocate the amount. I would suggest making a backup of the file first just in case.
On a side note, we would recommend using Pay Liabilities to record superannuation payments, instead of Spend Money. It's easier to keep track of liabilities yet to be paid, and can be reported via payroll reports.
Hope this helps, please do not hesitate to let us know how you go.
