EOFY Finalisation - YTD verification report and Payroll Summary reports do not match due to a non reportable wage item. Is this acceptable?
Hello,
I am doing EOFY Finalisations. There is a wage item for an employee that is "staff reimbursements" for a busines purchase they made that I've reimbursed them for. I believe I set this up properly using MYOB's help page for this. When I pull the Payroll Summary report, the amount includes the reimbursement. When I pull the YTD verification report, the amount is "$34.19" less which is the exact amount of the reimbursement.
I believe that because this wage item is "not reportable" it will not show up in the YTD verification report. I've pulled summary reports for each employee and added the gross figures which equals the same total as the YTD verification report but again is missing the "$34.19" reimbursement amount.
When following MYOB's steps for preparing for EOFY, it says that I can't finalise until the Payroll Summary and the YTD Verification reports match. Because the reimbursements wage item is not reportable, I don't think these reports will ever match.
Would I be correct in believing that this is okay and I can continue with my EOFY finalisations even if the Payroll Summary and YTD Verification reports don't match because of this non-reportable wage item? Or could it be that I've gone wrong somewhere. I've changed the ATO category, reversed the pay-run and re-done the pay-run and it hasn't changed anything. If there's any advice or tips any of you could give me that would be so helpful. It could be that I don't need to worry about the reports not matching but I would like to be sure.
Thank you in advance :)
If the YTD Verification Report doesn't match the Payroll Summary Report is because all the wages that are reported as Gross Payments will only show in YTD Verification Report. Under EOFY Finalisation tab, against the employee name there is three dots there that will show the Individual Summary Payments as the breakdown of other pay items that is not reported as Gross Payments. If you add these Gross YTD to the Verification Report, everything should match. Let me know if you need more assistance with this.
Best regards,
