Mid year transfer to MYOB's initial STP Report incorrect

We transferred over to MYOB Payroll mid financial year. During the setup our payroll officer ran an update event to bring the YTD earnings of our team members over. It appears we butchered these numbers with only the team members salary for the year being added in, not their YTD earnings. From this point onwards our STP reporting as being adding onto this number. 
I'm looking at running an update event to fix this, but can not find the information on how to make changes before the update is sent. 
Any help would be amazing.

    Hi DanielCE,

     

    Mid-year payroll moves can be a bit of a spicy one, especially where STP is involved. Bringing payroll across partway through the year takes a bit more than just sending an update event. To keep the ATO figures lining up properly, it usually means making sure the employees’ YTD is wrapped up correctly in the previous payroll software, then carrying things across properly into MYOB.

     

    STP update event doesn’t let you manually edit the figures inside the event itself. It simply sends the latest YTD balances that already exist in MYOB. So if the YTD amounts were brought over incorrectly, those employee payroll details or YTD figures will need to be corrected first. Once that’s sorted, you can send an update event to push the corrected totals through to the ATO. I’d definitely recommend checking out this thread on transferring STP details, as it has some really handy info on getting the setup right.

     

    Cheers,
