Set up payroll runs in advance

Question

I'm about to go on leave and would like to set up the pay runs in advance so that when away, I don't have to login while on holiday.&nbsp; Does MYOB&nbsp; have the functionality to allow me to pay superannuation using a processing date, say two weeks from today, such that the actual processing of the monies through the clearinghouse is done on that nominated&nbsp; date two weeks from now?&nbsp; If so, are there any implications for BAS statements etc. that I should be aware of, or in the long run, will this just look like any ordinary pay run albeit I set it up two weeks before the software did the processing?

Hi Copycat,
&nbsp;
Thanks for posting. Indeed, you can set up a pay run for a future date in the system. However, the date you record it will be the one that shows up.
&nbsp;
For super payments, they can't be future-dated. Once you authorise a super payment, it gets processed right away, even if you've entered a future date. If you want to authorise it later, just click 'No' and leave it for now. You can authorise the payment later from the 'Manage Payments' window.
&nbsp;
Remember, to make sure your payments reach the funds on time, authorise your super payments in AccountRight at least 5 business days before they're due. You can find more details in the articles 'Do a Pay Run' and 'Make superannuation payments'.
&nbsp;
Feel free to post again anytime you require further assistance.&nbsp;

Hi Shella,&nbsp;Thank you for your answer.&nbsp; Based upon your response, I decided to process the pay runs using the web interface on my iPhone whilst away.&nbsp; Having now returned, two things have become obvious:The ID number for each of those transactions has not been incremented and so I now have three pay runs with exactly the same ID number – frustrating.&nbsp; This seems like a bug with the Internet interface as the ID numbers have since incremented when I have used the software on my PC after my return from OS.&nbsp;The last of those pay runs processed while overseas was dated 20/05/24, has the superannuation payment still showing as "processing payment," as does the subsequent superannuation payment dated 3/06/24 which was processed after my return.&nbsp; This can't be right, surely??I went online to discover that the help files and suggest that if a superannuation payment is showing as "processing payment" for more than five business days then I should contact MYOB.&nbsp;&nbsp; but I can't find where to raise a support&nbsp; ticket.&nbsp; Last time I called MYOB I sat in a queue for over an hour – who has time for that?&nbsp;Any suggestions greatly appreciated.&nbsp;Kind regards, Ann

Actually, a correction - number 2 above has corrected itself, but number 1 above is still an issue.
