Adding JOB code to Payroll

Hi

 

I have processed a payroll and didn't put the job code in for one line item.

 

It looks like I can only delete and then reenter the transaction - will it cause any issues if I do that as I have done my bank reconciliation for the month?

 

Would it be better to do a General Journal?

 

Thank you

    Due to all the potential flow off effects of a payroll transaction (the actual bank payment, super, tax, Payroll Liabilities, STP etc) correcting the Jobs allocation via a General Journal would be much simply than delete and re-enter. 

     

    Do a GJ to DR Wages (with correct Job allocation) and CR Wages (with Job original allocation originally used). This should not change the Wages account balance but should allow the Job costs to be updated.

     

    Regards
