Hi Member: Genreve_S | MYOB Community
i have had the exact same issue. i have been on the phone for hours this morning with the ATO discussing this but i needed clarification on how to get the correct figures in myob sent to ATO.
these are the instructions from ATO:
i need branch 2 that needs YTD up to 1/11/24 , then branch 6 that needs figures from 2/11/24 to 30/6/24.
will i follow your example above by manually adjusting the YTD figures in the employee card to zero, then send update . (do i need to finalise with zero balances? )
then manually enter YTD for the period 1/7/24 to 1/11/24. , send update & finalise.
then manually enter YTD back to zero
change to branch 6 , manually enter YTD for the period 2/11/24 to 30/6/25, send update & finalise?
t
he ATO have instructed me that they need a YTD for branch 2 & a YTD for branch 6, which then in theory those two added together will be my wages total for the year.
if this is not the process, can you please maybe contact me directly?

Hi DT66,
This sounds a bit different from the previous scenario, but the process would still be similar.
First off, for branch 2, add all the pay history values for every month up to 1/11/24 and clear out anything after that date. Once that’s done, send through an update event and finalize it before switching the branch number.
For branch 6, it’s the opposite, add up all the pay history values starting from 2/11/24 onwards and wipe out everything before that. Don’t forget to send an update event and finalize that as well.

I have the same issue as DT66.
I have successfully finalised EOFY for the first portion of the year using Branch 6.
I have zeroed out employees pay history, changed the branch number to Branch 3, re-entered wages for the later period of the year BUT cannot finalise the STP as it shows its already finalised for Branch 6.
Am I missing something?
hi BalAdvBooks
i think your missing step may be: after you finalised branch 6, zero out the employees pay history, send an update event, change to branch 3, then enter the ytd figures for the 2nd half of year, send update event, then finalise branch 3.
remember, the report for the first finalisation wont be available afterwards, so you need to save all your reports as you go for the two finalisations
