Used wrong account for pay run, now can't edit

Hi folks, first post.

 

I ran a pay run for myself some time ago for closing the last FY, and it looks like I've 'paid' myself from the wrong account (pay run took it out of '1-1110 Business Bank Account #1' but the real money comes into, and goes out of  '1-1161 Westpac#8506' in the attached screenshot).

 

It looks like I can't 'edit' the pay run to withdraw from the correct account, and I also can't do a journal to move the money around ('1-1110 Business Bank Account #1' isn't available in the drop down list of accounts on the general journal screen). I am having reconciliation errors while this remains the case.

 

How can I either correct the pay run, or move the money in MYOB so that these accounts net out?

    Hi guys, deleting the pay run didn't work as it had already been sent to the ATO.

     

    The solution turned out to be to activate that account, setting it as a cash on hand account, and then journalling the money between the two accounts.

    Hi dvas​ 

    Maybe try a Spend Money or Receive Money to go from one bank account to the other - works the same as a journal.

    Cheers

    Hi dvas​ - welcome to the forum.

     

    You can simply delete or reverse the pay run, then redo it - and use the correct account.

     

    Take a look at this help topic for the steps: Deleting a pay

     

    I hope this helps!
