Cannot delete an old 'Pay Employee' out of 'Prepare Bank Deposit'.
This has been sitting here well before I joined the company and no one has successfully been able to delete these because of "something to do with the ATO".
Does anyone know of any possible solutions to finally remove these cheques?
Hi pj_vou,
That one's definitely a bit annoying when it's been sitting there forever. What usually helps clear those out of the Prepare Electronic Payments window is to basically process them through, then remove the file after. Here's how you can do it:
- Open Prepare Electronic Payments
- Select all the stuck transactions
- Click Record to generate the bank file (ABA file)
- Once that's done, you can go ahead and delete the bank file
That should clear them out of the list. Just a heads up though, since these are old pay transactions, removing them this way can impact your bank reconciliation. It's a good idea to check in with your accountant about doing a journal entry to offset things properly, especially if there was something ATO-related behind why they were left there in the first place.
Regards,
Sai
