Hi PipandBill,
Welcome aboard, and thanks for posting. It's awesome to see small biz legends like you diving into MYOB, even if it feels a bit like navigating a jungle at first.
When you record payroll through the Pay Run, that's actually your accounting record sorted. Since you're making the actual bank payment separately, MYOB's already done its part once. No need to manually add that bank payment again.
The smoother way? Make sure your Pay Run is set to record as a cash payment. That way, the transaction flows through nicely, and you can still match it to your bank feed without doubling up.
Now, about those duplicates, don't worry, we've got a fix! You can tidy things up with a journal entry to reverse extras. We've got a handy guide to walk you through it right here: Adding and finding journal entries.
Regards,
Sai
