Hi MJ7,
Thanks for following up. What that last part means is there are really two separate things happening here, clearing the bank feed transactions, and then making sure the MYOB entries balance out properly.
In your situation, the two extra $5 payments should be handled using Allocate me in Banking > Bank transactions, and each of those bank feed lines should be allocated to the payroll clearing account rather than matched to the original pay run. Once those two bank transactions are allocated, MYOB creates the spend money entries for them. After that, the general journal is used to move the total shortfall amount between the bank account and the payroll clearing account, and that journal needs to have equal debit and credit amounts so it balances properly. Since this part can affect how your bank feeds and reconciliation are recorded, it’s recommended to check with your accountant so the allocation and reconciliation are handled correctly.
Cheers,
Princess
