New user Pay Super / STP snafu

I started using MYOB business at the start of this financial year. I have two full-time employees (self & partner) which I pay quarterly.

 

Before MYOB, I’d always made monthly superannuation payments, which continued for the first three months of the financial year. These were entered manually as Spend Money transactions, not realising they should be done as part of a pay run. At the end of the first quarter, I did my first pay run which resulted in MYOB Pay Super kicking into action, thereby doubling the amount of super paid. Ok, my mistake, but not a major problem - I was happy to not reverse the payments and instead changed the initial monthly payments to RESC (Employer Additional Super Payments).

 

My problem however is with the STP Report. It went off the ATO (via MYOB), but of course it didn’t include the RESC Super payments as they had been done outside of the Pay Run.

 

In short, I need to correct the STP to include the RESC payments but I don’t know how to do this. I don’t want to wait until the next pay run, as that will be in the next quarter and I fear would cause problems with my BAS.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I've ended up calling MYOB help line. The solution was to do a $0 pay run which declared the additional super, but NOT select Pay Super (I didn't realise that option existed). Job done. A messy problem, but in the end a simple solution.

    Unfortunatley I'm not getting any responses, so I'll try asking the question in a different way that might be a bit clearer.

     

    I am trying to update an STP event but MYOB Business doesn't have an update event button like earlier versions. I understand to do this in Business you need to process a $0 pay. This will update the Year-to-date (YTD) amounts with the ATO.

     

    This is exactly what I need but without MYOB Pay Super making an additional payment. You see, the payments have already been made outside of a Pay Run as a Spend Money (rookie mistake). I simply need to fix the error so that the STP matches the actual payments I've already made.
