MYOB Business Payroll

When we have clients who have employees, for instance have child support deductions, or get paid into 2 bank accounts, how are we to match the payrun with the transaction through the bank feed. 

The help articles I have seen say to reverse the payrun and complete 2 individual payruns which is an unsuitable and not practical workaround, as the employees would be left with 2 payslips for 1 payrun. 

 

How else are we to resolve the issue?

    Hello samdwyer,

     

    Since reversing and reprocessing the pay run isn't a suitable option for you, there's another workaround to help match the pay run with the bank feed transactions:

     

    • Create a Payroll Clearing Account. Go to Accounting > Chart of Accounts > Create account. If you already have one, you can skip this step.
    • Set Up the Account. Create a detail account with the necessary settings as per the screenshot below.

    • Allocate Transactions. In Bank Transactions, allocate the separate wage payments to the clearing account.
    • Check General Ledger Report. Run a General Ledger Report (Reporting > Reports) to confirm that the payroll clearing account has a debit balance matching the allocations.
    • Create General Journal Entry. In Accounting > General Journal, transfer the full pay amount between the bank account and the payroll clearing account.
    • Verify the Balances. Run the General Ledger Report again to confirm that the journal offsets the payroll clearing account balance.

    Just a reminder, when completing the next bank reconciliation, make sure to reconcile the spend money allocations, the initial pay run and the general journal to balance.

     

    Cheers,

    Doreen
