Payroll

My payruns was setup for one bank, but the money was paid out of another bank. How can I fix this ?

    Hi 

     

    If you have done an electronic payment for them you just need to delete the payment and reprocess with the correct bank

     

    If you process as cheque or cash you can go in and try to change the bank account in the pay- see if that works.

     

    Otherwise the workaround I would suggest is to create a payroll clearing account ( a liability account)

     

    So the payments made from the wrong account you allocate to the clearing account

    Then in the bank account that the wages have been processed to you do a receive money for the same amount and allocate to payroll clearing

     

    Hope this helps

    You will need to reconcile manually the pays and the receive money in the incorrect bank account. This cancels the transactions out but registers the pays

     eg pays total $1500

    DR Bank where pays were paid from ( Payroll clearing) (BNK 2) $1500

    CR Bank where pays were recorded to (payroll clearing) (BNK1) -$1500

    DR Pays that were recorded (BNK 1)$1500

      I did the payment through my Bank myself. not through MYOB

       

      If that's what you mean about Electronic payment or Cheque / cash payment

      It's not just one pay,  there are many --- couple of months before realizing

        try this

        Go into find transactions in the banking tab

        Along the top ribbon is a finf and recode tab 

        select the incorrect bank that the pays were coded to and the date range you want

         

        select the transactions you want select replace and the options will come up 

        in account select the bank you want and then save 

        The transactions should then be saved to the correct bank

         

        I haven't used this before in myob but hopefully that will work

      Hello Lisa

       

      Just realized they have Electronic Payment Method on them.   So that means I have to delete and redo with correct bank  ?  😥

        Yes that's correct 

         

        just delete the payment and reprocess with the correct bank
