Hi echokim
Anything processed through payroll is going to affect what is reported to the ATO so I would avoid that because in this situation the super bounced because of an issue with the super fund. The payruns and amounts reported are correct, it's only the super payment transaction that is an issue.
Following the steps in the linked Help Article aren't as cumbersome as they seem and will be quicker than adjusting the pays and allocating the refund to the suspense account. You'll also have a clear audit trail to match with happened in real life.
Following the steps in that Help Article you'll:
- reverse the Pay super payment by clicking on Reverse payment in the Manage payments window
- reprocess the successfully paid contributions in Pay Liabilities
- reprocess the super contributions that bounced in Pay Super, this resubmits the payment to the employee's super funds
Please let me know if you need further help.
