STP Reporting not syncing/Deleting Payroll

Question

When I completed our initial payroll, MYOB was not set up correctly with STP and therefore this did not report the pay accurately and we are one pay cycle short for Q1. The payment was made electronically.

I've tried twice to send an STP Event Update - but again this remains the same in STP reporting and we are still one pay cycle short.

My thoughts were if I haven't been able to report it to the ATO, I can delete the payroll and resubmit it as an unscheduled pay in Q2 so then it is accurately reported. I've unlinked the transactions and deleted the payment, but I still can't delete the payroll! Please help!!

Alternatively, is it easier if I just record the updated payroll amounts on the Activity Statement when I submit? However I'm worried that when I do the EOFY reporting with MYOB, it will be incorrect and I will be one pay cycle short. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hey jwcpm,
&nbsp;
You’ve done a great job laying everything out. What’s happening is that once a pay run has been reversed and reprocessed, it often won’t be recognised in the quarter totals, so the report shows short. No worries, you can manually adjust the amount in your BAS for that quarter so the correct figures are reported. From next quarter, as long as there aren’t any more reversals and reprocessing, your BAS will show the right amount.

Hi Doreen,&nbsp;Thanks a lot for getting back to me.&nbsp;I actually can't delete or reverse the payroll. It doesn't come up with that option - with my other pay runs there is a reverse pay option in the bottom left-hand corner. Any ideas on how to delete this pay run?&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi jwcpm,&nbsp;

Thanks for the screenshot, looks like a small hiccup. If the reverse/delete button isn’t showing for a pay run, it’s usually because the pay run’s linked to an electronic payment batch. Delete the linked electronic payment first, then head back to the pay run. The reverse/delete option should show up.
