Duplicate pay transaction after reversal

Hi ld71,

First up, absolutely no judgement. Payroll + late nights is a brutal combo and what you’ve described is a really easy mistake to make. You’ve actually done a great job already by checking with the ATO, running the reversal and STP update, and confirming your reports and the actual bank payment are now correct. From what you’ve said, it sounds like:

• Pay 627 is the original pay that you later reversed
• The reversal has put things right in MYOB and STP
• Pay 628 is the pay that relates to the actual amount that left the bank

When you’re in Bank transactions, you’ll want to:

1. Click on the bank payment for that pay date.
2. Check the details of pay refs 627 and 628.

The one that’s not reversed and shows the correct net pay that left your bank is the one to match to the bank line (this will usually be 628 based on what you’ve described). Don’t match the reversed pay (627) to the bank transaction, that one belongs with its reversal, and together they should just net to zero inside MYOB. Once you’ve matched the correct pay to the bank transaction, the original pay and its reversal (including 627) are just there to show the history; as long as they net to zero and your reports and STP are right, you don’t need to do anything further with 627 for the bank payment itself.

Regards,

Sai
