Hi jowill
I'm afraid that if the job numbers weren't assigned when processing payroll, you won't be able to edit the pay run afterwards to assign jobs. You can consider reversing the affected pay runs, or entering a negative pay run for the total amount, then re-record the figures with jobs assigned. If preferred, you can also record general journals to achieve job assignments as well, it would be best to check with your accountant/bookkeeper if you are unsure which accounts to use for the journals.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know if you have any further questions.
Hi Clover
This seems rather silly as it is not changing any monetary amounts that would change any of the reports etc. It is merely allocating the amounts to specific job numbers. We are in the building industry & this is a very important aspect of being able to work out specific job costs plus a break up of each part of the job.
Upon searching previous discussions, I saw someone else had asked this same question a coule of years ago & this is still an issue. I would have thought this would be a standard inclusion as you can change many other things in MYOB that don't change monetary amounts, just the locations of the amounts. Even after reconciling, I can change the account that an entry has gone to if it has been entered incorrectly, which then changes the monetary total of those accounts, so I'm not sure why this can't be done when it doesn't affect any money value as a total.
Perhaps this should be something to be considered as part of an update??

Hi jowill
Thank you for your feedback. Payroll transactions has always been more strict comparing to other type of transactions, only minor fields like payment method, pay period, memo etc can be edited afterwards, not the transaction body itself.
Having said that, I can see the benefit of being able to edit the pays to update/add jobs, I'm happy to pass on your feedback to the relevant team. You can also raise it as an idea on our Idea Exchange board, the votes/comments received will help our developers identify the needs and prioritise their work.
