Matching bank statement lines to cheques

Hey,

 

In one of my pay runs, I created a check to pay an employee $1,210.00, but I actually paid him in two payments of $605.00 each, and now I can't match two bank statement lines with the same check in my bank reconciliation. How to fix this?

    Hi MatheusToledo,

     

    Since reversing and reprocessing the pay run isn't a suitable option for you, there's another workaround to help match the pay run with the bank feed transactions:

     

    • Create a Payroll Clearing Account. Go to Accounting > Chart of Accounts > Create account. If you already have one, you can skip this step.
    • Set Up the Account. Create a detail account with the necessary settings as per the screenshot below.

    • Allocate Transactions. In Bank Transactions, allocate the separate wage payments to the clearing account.
    • Check General Ledger Report. Run a General Ledger Report (Reporting > Reports) to confirm that the payroll clearing account has a debit balance matching the allocations.
    • Create General Journal Entry. In Accounting > General Journal, transfer the full pay amount between the bank account and the payroll clearing account.
    • Verify the Balances. Run the General Ledger Report again to confirm that the journal offsets the payroll clearing account balance.

    Just a reminder, when completing the next bank reconciliation, make sure to reconcile the spend money allocations, the initial pay run and the general journal to balance.
