Wage Allocation

I have 2 employees. Both of these employees have there wages paid into multiple accounts/other banks manually. For example: $1330.50 net pay, $1200 goes to CBA and balance to Credit Union which i transfer individually.

When I  go to bank transactions to allocate funds. Employee 1 automatically allocates both amounts to Wages. Employee 2 doesn't, when i drop down to allocate there is a payroll reference for the net pay. I can't allocate both of the transfers to this payroll reference.

Therefore if I just allocate to wages the payroll reference remains in the drop down box.

If I transfer both amounts to a payroll clearing account i don't know how to match to the payroll reference to clear it.

If I select one payroll amount and allocate to the clearing account and select the other payroll amount and then add adjustment from the clearing account it comes up with an error.

A journal doesn't remove the payroll item from the dropdown box either?

Any suggestions?

    Hey Trudkey,

     

    You’ve explained that perfectly, and you’re spot on about the challenge with those split payments. The easiest way forward is to pop both transfers into a payroll clearing account first, then manually reconcile the payroll transactions from there. That’ll clear the payroll reference and keep everything tidy without throwing errors. I’ve also found a Community Forum post that shows the steps for allocating to a payroll clearing account, which might be handy. If you’re still having trouble after that, feel free to reach out to our team on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA, or by submitting a support case via My Account and they’ll help you get it sorted.

     

    Cheers,

    Doreen
