Pay Item Not Matching After Incorrect Rule Applied

Payroll gets paid by "cash". Normally, I / MYOB automatically match the money coming from the bank account to the Payroll Reference Number that relates to processing of the actual payroll.

I have a payroll payment that got allocated using a bank rule, which has since been deleted.  I "unmatched" the payment (bank) of payroll to the rule (which had it going to the electronic clearing account).  Then I tried to match the bank item agains the payroll (ref #) item.

I am unable to do this.  The payroll reference number isn't found when I search against existing records.  Nor is the amount.  I have given broad date ranges as well.

When I reconcile the bank account, the payment shows as unmatched & I am unable to match against the payroll reference number their either.  The bank account reconciles up to the date prior to the transaction though.

In find transactions there is only the payroll item, not a spend money.  I have checked the General Ledger and nothing apart from payroll item found.

Suggestions on how to allocate / what to do so I can move forward with reconciling and end of month that is looming?

Thanks
