Hi Wynn,
I totally get it, that figure on the dashboard would spook anyone.
Every file is a bit different, but there are two common reasons why Super doesn’t look like it’s being “deducted”:
- You’ve been paying super outside the Pay Super window, so the file doesn’t automatically record the payment against the liability.
- One or more super pay items are linked to the wrong liability account.
A quick fix to try:
- Check the linked payable account on every super pay item and make sure it points to your Superannuation Payable liability (2‑xxxx).
- If you’ve paid super outside MYOB, record it in the file using either:
- Spend Money to Superannuation Payable; or
- a Journal (Debit Superannuation Payable, Credit your bank), dated the day you actually paid it.
If neither of those explains the 18 months showing on the dashboard, best to let us take a closer look. You can log a support ticket via My Account, or jump on live chat with MOCA (our virtual assistant) and ask for a human.
Cheers,
